PLANT MUSIC MICRO-FESTIVAL: World Premiere of Song of the Council Oak, The New Honey Shade
A Landmark Composition Rooted in History
Song of the Council Oak is a tribute to the historic Council Oak Tree, a vital symbol of resilience and the foundation of the Muscogee Creek Nation in Tulsa. Composer Mark Kuykendall recorded biofeedback directly from the Council Oak Tree in September and October 2024, capturing its natural rhythms and vitality. This data has been transformed into music, voiced by Oklahoma’s first Buchla synthesizer. The result is a performance that symbolizes both the founding of Tulsa in 1836 and a milestone in the city’s synthesis history.
The evening will feature a live performance of this unique composition, accompanied by an artist talk from Kuykendall, who will discuss the innovative process behind the music. Special guest Muscogee Creek author JD Colbert will also share insights on the historical and cultural importance of the Council Oak Tree, adding depth and context to the event.
