Expect four hours of lush & juicy high quality field recordings, intuitive ambient live-looping with guitar playing reminiscent of the era of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Satriani, vocal & flutes complimented with gentle piano & deep synths inspired by Jon Hopkins.

This is fun, low key event where you can hang out, chat, just be with nice people and of course dance! No booze, zero attitude, hopefully not too many rules but definitely nice vibes.
