Halloween party at the Zeitgeist featuring 6 ambient/ethereal/experimental/noise acts! There will be free food, candy, and ghostly potions served between sets. Assume an exotic identity for the occasion, or just come and melt into the atmosphere...
Red Skies [7:00 - 7:40] - Eastern-tinged underwater-sounding guitar and vocal ambience from Jinsen (of the band 28 Degrees Taurus) and friends...
Lauri des Marais & Kris Thompson [7:55 - 8:35] - Lauri des Marais' compositions are primarily synthesized streams between shape, mood, and pattern-texture construction which create what she calls "Stories in Sound". Des Marais began playing piano in 1994, and eventually began recording with synthesizers and "musique concrète" techniques. For live performance, she developed a form of movement she calls Movement So Still With Sound -- incorporating themes of traditional Eastern movement -- to translate the often subtle dimensional qualities of her music. Accompanying on ethereal theremin is Kris Thompson from local bands The Lothars and Dear Old Stockholm Syndrome. His past projects include Abunai!, Nisi Period and The Prefab Messiahs.
Wisteriax [8:55 - 9:25] - ambient/experimental cello run through a bevy of effects
Rob Byrd [9:40 - 10:15] - evocative ambient guitar improv
Sun Rushing In [10:30 - 11:15] - a duo consisting of Lauri des Marais and Susan DeLeo. Beautiful, seductive and creepy pieces with an ambient sound collage foundation.
Turkish Queen [11:25 - 12:00] - an experimental duo out of Boston, MA. They formed in the sultry summer of 2002, through a mutual love of sound, texture, and technical wizardry. Their cinematic melodies wrap around your ears like a slow-creeping vine, invoking an eerie sea of sound. Evocative female vocals reveal themselves like a lifeline on a palm touched by sepia-stained fingers, portraying intriguing characters and the human condition.
With Dr. T on live video mixing throughout!
