A research-rooted artistic collaboration between composer Jessi Harvey and choreographer Julynn Wildman, based on the mating songs and dances of the Japanese Rhino Beetle research performed at the Evolutionary Biology Lab at the University of Montana. Each movement corresponds to a different stage of the mating process and uses data to create the overall structure, tonality, motives, textures, and all other aspects of the music.
