Arone Dyer does a lot of hard-edged things that blur the boundaries of the tidy box an artist is asked to fit in. She produces sound as a vocalist, musician, composer, and as a founding member of the uncategorical duo Buke and Gase, which has brought her around the globe multiple times. To support her music-habit she ventures into voiceover work, heads a Youth Co-op where she teaches kids how to fix and ride bicycles in her community, has a vicious landscaping side-hustle, and engages in her community, both as a member of Hudson’s Conservation Advisory Committee and as a Volunteer Firefighter in the Town of Greenport.

In the same vein, Arone Dyer’s “Dronechoir” has been a boundary-blurring, ever-evolving, highly interactive musical experience that aims to provide new or deeper connections between participants and audience members alike since 2015. In it, a curation of vocalists from diverse backgrounds perform an unrehearsed a’capella piece in which musical cues and venue-specific movement directions are fed to them through earphones, physically foregrounding specific singers or creating positional unity at different points in the piece. As a result, the singers may move closer to each other and members of the audience than is typical or expected, bringing depth to the experience by challenging comfort barriers and introducing a heightened sense of engagement with the performance.

This iteration of Dronechoir presents a work titled Mote.
