Note from the Artist:
My vision for 'The Kanawha Sound Basin' was to imagine the Charleston Coliseum not just as a venue, but as a living, breathing entity responding to Billy Strings' music. I wanted to capture that moment when the music completely transforms a space, making it feel ancient and alive. The broad geometry of the Coliseum became the banks of a mystical river, with the stage as the heart of its glowing current. As the 'music-river' flows, it gives rise to elements close to Billy's world: intricate roots, ethereal moths drawn to light, and serpents crafted from melody. The subtle nod to the Kanawha River and the State Capitol dome anchors this fantastical scene in the heart of Charleston, creating a truly unique homage to the experience.
