Here are my Chillography at Kinetic 4 photos and videos. Many of them were taken by my lovely wife, so my performance with John Ames received a heavier emphasis than the rest of the event.

It’s here! Kinetic 4 at the Pacific Science Center. We’ve been planning our portion of this event for sometime now and now it is time to make it all happen. 🙂 Chillography is excited to not only have the best room in the entire PSC for stage (freaking robot dinosaurs!), but also having perhaps our best line-up yet. This will not suck.

Much of my excitement also comes from the fact that John Ames and I get to debut our new music project, A Delicate Moment. We play from 10-11, and have an entire hour of brand-spankin’-new melodic, dubby, psychedelic, downtempo goodness, heavily layered with John’s crazy cello skills. This set has been months in the making and I can’t wait to show off the awesome sauce that we have concocted.

There are two hot shows this weekend that are sure to put dance in your pants!

 
Tonight, Friday, March 19 is Head|Set with Vibrasphere at Waid’s. I love love love Vibrasphere’s blend of progressive, trance and techno, and word is he’ll be finishing his set with some their über delicious downtempo. They’ve been on my list of bands to see for such a long time now, and tonight I finally get to. 🙂 Bonus points for having this at Waid’s House of Love. Such a great venue. Full event info is here.

Here’s a live(?) Vibrasphere set, from who-knows-when-and-who-knows-where, to get us all in the mood:

Then, Saturday, March 20 is Joe Nice at Chop Suey. This two-roomed, dubstep/techno show is sure the be a great counterpoint to tonight’s progressive trance extravaganza. I have to be honest… I don’t really know anything about Joe, but my friends who are putting on this event are really excited about him, and I trust them, so I am excited too. Plus, the rest of the line-up, and especially the techno side room are full of great DJs. At $10, I am totally willing to support my friends and expose my ears to some new music. Sounds like a fantastic way to spend a Saturday. Full event info is here.
 
Then Sunday, March 21, I’ll be sleeping in. Please do not disturb.
 
See you on the dancefloor(s)!

The March 2010 episode of Psilicon Dreams has been recorded and uploaded. I’m really happy with selection of tracks in this episode. Psybient, atmospheric IDM, psydub, dubstep, glitch, downtempo, and a wee dash of sloa goa some how it all made their way in and came out sounding fab. Tune in to DI.FM’s Psychill channel this Saturday, the 13th, at 9am US PST / 12pm US EST / 5pm UK / 18:00 Central Europe to catch its debut. I’ll post the set here for download later in the weekend.

Tonight, I’m performing a live Leave Trace ambient set at a really fantastic new monthly exploring the mellowist end of the music spectrum. Contained within the cozy confines of Space in Greenwood, these parties are not to be missed if you are a fan of true ambient music. The show runs from 10:30pm – 3:30am, and I’m playing the 1:15-2:30am slot. Oh, and it’s only $5! That’s cheap enough to come on out and quickly bail if you decide it’s not your thing!

Hope to see you on the chill floor. 🙂

We are proud to present the second of the series of Ambire Linearis on March 12th. We will be graced by fantastic art, interesting visuals, professional dialed in surround sound, and a beautiful container to hold space for deepening our personal interactions.

Adding to the atmosphere will be featured visual artists Cameron Larson (who was recently reviewed in The Stranger) and Courtney Sundberg. We will also be having sushi and other such luxuries to enjoy.

The evening of March 12th is also my birthday, as well as a few days from Owen’s! I can think of no better way to celebrate then sharing my alchemy of hosting with you that evening.

Looking forward to sharing SPACE and time with you,
Isaac
