In Liza Lim’s program notes for bioluminescence (2018), she writes that this piece ‘explores flickering, shimmering qualities. Bioluminescence is the emission of light by organisms such as fireflies, fungi, algae and many sea creatures.’

This film is part of ELISION Ensemble’s performance series, and features Paula Rae on flute. For those unfamiliar with extended techniques on this instrument, you’ll get a chance to hear multiphonics (playing several tones at the one time), note-bending, flutter tonguing, and others.
