@ The Drawing Room, 3260 23rd Street
An immersive multi-media installation created by Sean Stillwell, Festiverse is an exploration of the illusory nature and escapist culture surrounding art and music festivals and an attempting to understand their benefits vs the costs to ourselves and the planet. The natural surroundings, neon lights, counter culture environment, psychedelics, and non-judgmental community common to these gatherings are in stark contrast to the high stress, disconnected, mundane, status based ritual that we endure day after day. However, this opposite end of the spectrum leaves us drug induced, physically/financially drained, and more or less, right back where we started.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
