Live @ the Planetarium - The Listening Room (sept 11)

[ffa]

I went last year and it ROCKED!!!! well, the sold out part had something to do with it...

Watching the visuals while chilling on the theatre chairs in the main room was quite an experience...

I am sad as I am in San Fran this year, but you all better be there to represent :-)

To answer some questions: we are not sold out yet - but sales are expected to go parabolic within the next few days.

This time last year we were like 6% soldout. Today we are 24% sold out - A very good sign considering we also issued more tickets than last year.

Normal laser shows are like 12$ and last 45 minutes.
This special show is 16$ presale and lasts from like 9:00pm-2:00am (5 hours).

There are unfortunately no tickets on the island. If you would like to email me [email protected] - we can perhaps reserve some for you.

The Listening Room isn't a laser show; it's a showcase of live electronic music at the Planetarium, a lineup of breaks DJs and a dancefloor, wicked visuals, cheap beer, and a great time had by all.

The Listening Room is in the Planetarium, but that's about all it has in common with the usual "Laser Pink Floyd" shows... :)

Get tickets SOON, it's going to sell out! Last year they were turning people away at the doors at 11pm!

[Listening_room]

For the record: This show does feature lasers and visuals. We are also offering more tickets this year than last year - so hopefully we will turn away less people - so, don't get discouraged if you are running a bit late. But please arrive early!!

The artists listed on the flyer are not DJs, they are live-pa's. No records, no turntables, just piles of synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, effects, and maybe a laptop or two. The music in the Laser Dome is all performed live.

Here's some pictures from last year's show...

The music in the Star Deck, otoh, will be DJ's, MC's, turntablism, spoken word, etc - brought to you by the breakbeat maniacs from Pound Recordings. Y'know, Akeel and crew.

[Akeel]

Star Deck will feature

Emmanuel Ferriera
Filthy Fingers
Denny Dub
Krusha
MC NeutrixX
MC Ruckus

and me :)

Actually, in the interest of making my pile of gear more easily transportable (read: flying on a single airline ticket, instead of two), I've cut my live rig down by 49 knobs, and am leaving the MIDI-triggered strobe lights at home - they don't much care for extra light in the Laser Dome anyway, it screws with the illusion. :(

Musically, however, I'll be bringing out some of my "serious next-level shit". I play last.
