ANNOUNCEMENT:
Different Skies Electronic Space Music Festival at Arcosanti (65 mi North of
Phoenix, Arizona)
September 8 -14, 2003
http://differentskies.comDifferent Skies is an electronic space music event that will take place at
Arcosanti in the fall of 2003. From September 8 through 14, 2003, electronic,
experimental, New Age, and space musicians from around the world will gather at
the Colly Soleri Music Center at Arcosanti and do what they do best--create
music.
The first four days of Different Skies will be dedicated to the participants in
the event, the musicians themselves. Over four days of rehearsal, spontaneous
improvisation, and composing, the participants hope to combine their strengths
in previously-untested ways and to create new electronic space music never
before heard by their fans. It is their hope that not one but several CD
releases will result from these collaborations.
Following this period of preparation, the main events will take place on Friday
and Saturday, September 12 and 13: two concerts open to the public. Friday's
concert will be a multi-hour marathon of solo and group performances, starting
in the afternoon and playing well into the night. Saturday's concert will take
place in the evening, following the Arcosanti traditional pattern for their
Saturday musical events: visitors will be taken on a guided tour of the wonders
of Arcosanti, followed by a dinner prepared at the onsite restaurant, with the
concert to follow. The Saturday concert will feature the combined best of the
best of the creators' efforts over the previous week and will be made available
as a multiple CD set. The Friday concert is tentatively set to be recorded in
full surround sound and released on a single DVD, playable in any video DVD
player hooked up to a home theater system.
