David Rothenberg, of Cold Spring, literally wrote the book on “Bug Music” – using a choir of insects as his muse.
He spoke with News 12 Nadia Galindo about the hype surrounding the reemergence of cicadas after a 17-year slumber.
"When I’m playing with them, I'm trying to join in the swirl of sound," he says.
Anyone interested in tracking the cicadas can do so using the Cicada Safari app.
