The current forecast for Sunday is looking perfect for enjoying chill vibes on the waterfront, and I’m now even more stoked after seeing the great photos from last weekend’s Playground Party in PDX.

Come on out, even for just a bit. This is going to be a great Sunday!

Here is my DJ set from Chillography 104, on May 8, 2009. It’s a mix of mostly psydub infused with extra bits from my Kaos Pad 2 effects processor, Kaosillator pocket synthesizer, and a wonderful discussion about the multiverse by Brian Greene. The other three sets from Chillography 104 can be downloaded from here. Enjoy!

This weekend I’m playing at another fundraiser for another excellent cause. The Church of Bass is raising funds to install a new wood floor in the dowstairs area so it can be used as a community Yoga center when severing as the home of the underground events in the city. I’ll be playing some chill beats in upstairs lounge from 10:15-11:30. Click through for the full event details.

Musically, we’re bringing back some Chillography favorites to treat us to the perfect soundtrack to a waterfront-breeze-with-grass-between-your-toes kinda day. Please join us with your picnics, hula hoops, long boards, frisbees, yoga mats, books, blankets, lawn chairs, sunscreen, and whatever else is it that makes for a great summer day in a beautiful Seattle park.

Welcome to Chillography 201.

When :: Sunday, July 5, 2009, noon to 8 pm

Cost :: FREE

Check out this fantastic short film by Terri Timely that explores Synesthesia. The film reminds me a lot of parts of the wackiness that is Funky Forest.

Spotted on the always interesting Synthtopia blog.

 
Tonight is Groovix³, a fundraiser for an ambitious Burning Man art project. The musical menu is looking quite delicious with EQlateral kicking things off, followed by courses of Osiris Indriya, myself and Rob Noble.

Huzzah! The City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation are sponsoring our event which significantly reduces our costs. Donations received thus far will be used to cover the remaining expenses. Thank you for all of your support!

We are very very close to being fully official with the city for Chillography 201 on Sunday, July 5th. Assuming the City of Seattle waives the park usage fees, this event will cost us $350-400 for insurance and gas. Please consider a donation to help us cover these expenses. We’d really appreciate it!

If you are willing and able, please go here to donate to the cause via PayPal.

Thank you!!!!!

I’m really enjoying this live set by Seattle’s own Misha this morning. Turns out that lovely, mellow techno, a cup of coffee and an overcast sky happens to be a perfect combination.

The Chillography 104 DJ sets by Spektra, Blue Spectral Monkey, DJ Eckoe and myself (Crispy) are now up and ready for your downloading pleasure! Head over to the Chillography Downloads page to grab them and any of the other past sets that you may have missed. Happy listening!
