.. 09:00 . dreamSTATE vs. Heiki . dreamSTATE's Scott M2 & Jamie Todd join forces again with Heiki Sillaste to celebrate the release of their new “Stone Shore” EP - recorded live in Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton. Expect a set of spectral atmospheric drones and churning liquid grooves as they map the shifting shorelines of Canadian ambient electronica. dreamSTATE have blazed trails in live ambient soundscape performances since 1995 and bring you THE AMBiENT PiNG and DRONE:KLUB. Heiki Sillaste was a founding member of groups such as Digital Poodle, Kinder Atom and Lazer Caps. Since 1987, Heiki has released an impressive catalogue of well over 45 synthesizer-based records and made over 150 compilation appearances.
.. 10:00 . DIRTY INPUTS . Dirty Inputs is Aaron Dawson, a musician and VJ based in Toronto, Canada. Dawson was part of the Toronto ambient drone collective Off The International Radar. Having grown up in a small town in the Rocky Mountain foothills of western Canada, moving to the continent’s fourth largest metropolis has produced conflicting desires for nature and technology. Dirty Inputs’ euphoric synth-driven soundscapes search for the beach between these desires, between the beautiful and the terrifying. This focus has created a body of work that is often dark and brooding, and other times joyful and emotional. It is an attempt to strip away the hype and rhetoric in society to reveal the plain truths and humble existence of humankind staring into the void.
