Dr. McFerron Composition Selected for Queens Tape Music Festival

The original electroacoustic composition "Motion in Flow" for fixed media by Dr. Mike McFerron, chair and professor of Music at Lewis University, was selected for an October performance at Queens Tape Music Festival in Astoria, New York.  

This original work for fixed media premiered at the 23rd Annual Electronic Music Midwest Festival, which was co-sponsored by Lewis University. It was written for the Composers Concordance 13th Annual CompCord Festival and is featured on the 2025 album “Motion Électronique,” released by Composers Concordance. The album is available on all major streaming platforms and on Dr. McFerron’s website, bigcomposer.com.

Of this new composition, McFerron wrote, “For me, this fixed media work captures the meditative state I find in fly fishing; attuning all of my senses to a rod, a fly, and the immersive current of which I become a part. In this space, my mind becomes focused while external thoughts and emotions dissolve into silence leading to a pure awareness of the present.”
