Animal Collective to Perform New Music at “Coral Orgy” Event

Animal Collective’s Avey Tare, Deakin, and Geologist will perform new music at an upcoming Florida presentation called “Coral Orgy.” The band wrote on their Instagram that the hour-long set is inspired by the reefs, and it will be set to a projection of a “cosmic world of fluorescent coral,” made by media company Coral Morphologic. The show takes place February 24 at the New World Center in Miami Beach, Florida. See the poster below.

“Coral Orgy” is presented by Coral Morphologic, Borscht Corp., and III Points. It is described as “an audiovisual meditation on the secrets behind the sexual reproduction of corals, and an invocation towards the human quest of unlocking them.” The event seeks to raise awareness for scientific work done by non-profits including the Coral Restoration Foundation, SECORE, and Project Coral.

Animal Collective’s last album was 2016’s Painting With. Read our feature, “The Strangest Trip: Animal Collective on the Legacy of Animal Collective.”

On February 24, Avey Tare, Geologist and Deakin will perform an hour of new music inspired by the reefs while Coral Morphologic projects a cosmic world of fluorescent coral inside the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center. Presented by Borscht Film Festival and III Points, ‘Coral Orgy’ seeks to highlight the groundbreaking scientific work done on coral reproduction by the non-profits Coral Restoration Foundation (USA), SECORE (GER), and Project Coral (UK).
