Wednesday :: April 16th
*Vir Unis* - AtmoWorks [live]
Working for over twenty years, Vir Unis has released and produced
over 25 albums, solo and collaborative. In 2002, he and James
Johnson formed AtmoWorks, which is an online resource to produce
and release their own music as well as others. Combining an
ethereal and swirling sound of electronic synthesizers, samples,
and computerized loops, Vir Unis weaves a sonic tapestry over
fractalized beats and terrestrial grooves. Vir Unis performances
are always improvised and usually go beyond ideas recorded on
studio albums, leading into new experimental territories.
*James Johnson* - AtmoWorks [live]
James Johnson’s career in exploring the sonic realms of ambient
music has taken many shapes and forms, spanning over 20+ years.
His atmospheres and environments are deeply rooted in the
traditional origins of ambient/environmental music, and often
reflect the subtle pastoral nuances of life slowed down. Come
absorb an ambience that continuously unfolds. This evening's
performance will be a special real-time collaboration featuring
both James Johnson and Vir Unis.
*Merkaba* [vj]
Merkaba's work has always been process based as well as
collagist, and the advent of digital technologies has allowed a
great expansion of capabilities and reach, most excitingly into
the area of realtime video performance. Merkaba has accompanied
noted national and international musicians and is currently
involved with theatrical video design.
*Looking Forward* [live painting]
Alobar is an activist, artist, artisan, and inventor. He leads
journeywork-shops in “Holistic Creative Transformation”. He is
also an attuned Reiki Master, energy and light worker, and a
creator of sacred space. Exploring the realms of form and color
as an expression of the extra-consciousness, his vision comes
from the place of lucid dreams and ultimate surrender, the place
where the physical world begins to dissolve and light takes
shape. Alobars artistry hopes to evoke a sense of peace,
calmness, and contemplation amongst viewers.
*John Sacelli* - angeLynx [readings]
John Sacelli, a graduate of Yale University with B.Arts in
philosophy, has spent 35 years exploring alternative therapies,
spiritual paths, body work, and shamanism. Utilizing his angeLynx
tarot deck created from visions and a unique Angelish dictionary,
John's offerings are caring and seem to have a profound impact.
Every Angelish concept is based on a contradiction which,
followed deeply enough, will lead you to the place ‘before words
began, before spells were cast’.
*Derby* [dj] - Chilluminati / Touch Samadhi / Psymbolic--sounds
In his life as a traveler, Derby came upon the sounds of
psychedelica in Europe. Settling soon thereafter in Chicago, he
became a resource that pulled those with similar musical tastes
together. Derby has since proven to positively affect the Midwest
Psy/Goa music scene by being a driving force behind Touch
Samadhi, a founding member of The Chilluminati and an essential
programmer within the Psymbolic--sounds label. You can expect to
hear a skillful set of funky melodic soundscaping electronica.
*Zac Franzoni* [live painting]
Live Painting Sessions by Zac Franzoni who was trained by an
elite group of time-travellling artists sent to usher in The New
Renaissance. Bring your energy, passion, love of art and
collaborative mind to Re:vivify and join Zac for a live painting
journeyescape.
