Sound Journey Events..

A good amount of energy has been pouring into developing and discovering the best methods & practices for live-performed ambient(ish) journeys that also 100% function for sound wellness purposes. hitting the mark for people who want to immerse in compelling legit modern ambient / ambient-adjacent music *while also* fully serving the functions of what people call “sound baths” or sound healing and whatever other terms. both things at once. cross-pollinating and finding the common ground, together with efforts to disolve limiting notions (and aesthics) and barriers (you don’t have to be know anything about ambient music in order to enjoy it, you don’t have to dress a certain way or roll with any particular crowd ..and you don’t have to all soft smiles & quietly spoken to belong in wellness spaces either, and so on).

here’s some examples of some events and occarances so far..

Winter Solstice @ the Deli

this saturday we're doing something a little different. we'll have the room set-up similar to how we do for ambient/etc events, and conjuring a fully social environment for the afternoon with dj's frumlater and hasselhoff playing some vinyl & digital tunes (dub & downtempo and the like), while people chat and connect over some homemade vegan chai tea and other treats, plus our regular drinks & snacks available. pop by! that's part one.

part two is an intentional sound journey led by michael red, supplemented by what is sure to be a very powerful beginning by ritual purification and raj gill mixing in some elements & presence thru out. we'll have individual wireless headphones available for this, to supplement the room sound & to enable an even more immersive experience. these will be provided by eddy road, also bringing presence to the space.

part three will be the come down and resurface. background tunes with a bit more movement. extended hangs in the afterglow.

mieke jay is taking the lead with how the physical space feels & looks, and nora dawn is leading tea & snacks & drinks end while supplementing some other elements as well.

there are lot of intentions folded into this program. some we hope to carry on into future events. this is a beginning. this is also a return.

winter solstice 2025 moment

March 2 @ the Deli,
assembled by team earth & Low Indigo . .

couches & bean bag chairs & cushy carpet, mostly space for sitting or laying out in the front half of the space, with space for standing & moving around in the back. people are free to move, while also being mindful to not disrupt others who are going deep (during the journey).

personal headphones available, with volume control and some isolation from outside sound. music is played over the main sound system too. whether in headphones or not -> all will be feeling the sub-harmonic frequencies (a key component to the experience).

6pm  doors. tone-setting music. get settled, saying hello to others joining, have some tea (on the house :) ).

7pm deep listening journey, atmospheric environment,

9pm journey ends. slow resurface, integrate & conversate. music with movement at a background volume . by 10pm (ish) -> done.

instagram drop :

there's lots of coded lineage and embodied intentions & lived ways in this. some elements are knowingly raw and perhaps imperfect. it's a journey, an evolving story and a relationship. willingness to jump in, take a risk, to trip & discover & learn by doing, and refine & course correct along the way.

this event reflects this and is this. align & accept & allow the journey, and do seek for better ways .. which are all absolutely and definitely possible 🐳

next low indigo release

okpk's ep is dropping in a matter of days. a lot of folks who hands on the pre release are buzzing about it.

winnie cooper just premiered the video, exclaim did a nice little piece on it as well, undone gave it some love, and a few radio stations are doing some featured interviews on it. check the cjsw bit here while the stream lasts (next up are victoria and montreal based campus radio stations) .

cats only club to celebrate this friday at the rattle. always a good time.

available on bandcamp, itunes, juno, beatport and all other major retailers.

..as we continue

low indigo news..

momemtums and navigations have started to level out a bit for low indigo as a label now. started with the bandcamp, then moved up to some proper distro which promptly folded just a few months in, then the following re-calibration, new distro, now smoothing out and approaching glide mode there. quite soon, if not already, all low indigo releases should be available on all the major retailers like itunes, juno, beatport, etc. ..and remain on bandcamp as well.

future release schedules, mists taking shape:

in less then a month we'll have okpk's latest 'hollow' ep out, paired with video curtosy of laine butler. cats only club / ep release party for that'll be friday feb 12 at a familiar location (stay tuned).

in march will be a 4 song EP from me, '9 of cats'. long time vancouver experimental music community shaper giorgio magnanensi has created four outstanding videos for that. one is in 3D even.

and in spring, slope is putting the final touches on his debut EP for the label, with long time collabortaor corinthian on deck for the video.

preperations are being made for a compilation slotted for late spring. some familiar names to label already, and some new ones. stay tuned!

..and lastly, as a nice cherry-on-top to the new year and fresh energies that come with - just caught wind of the lovely label spotlight piece FREQ printed in september. some months later, but the timing is actually perfect. thanks FREQ!
