While there are over 200 species of the cicada insect, there is a particular variety, the genus Magicicada, which
emerges every 17 years to mate. The life-cycle of this collaboration between Pazes and Anenon traces a similar arc. A subdued chord progression gives way to a shimmering wall of electronics, then winds its way back to a peaceful silence. Stay tuned for part two in 2028.
