Huron 08.01.21
Johnny Lancia realizes blissed-out ambient works and concerts under the name Huron. His music is filled with heady drones and idiosyncratic rhythms that reflect his love of the natural world - filtered through a variety of modular synthesizers,analog electronics and tape manipulation processes.

Tim Motzer 08.08.21
The music of Tim Motzer travels on the reverb laden phrases of shimmering steel strings. Where electric guitar solos rise in ever strengthening leads, a rolling slow-flow of calm and color radiates below - as the expressive array of sonic shades and whispering washes clings willingly to the ears.

Jason Sloan 08.15.21
Exploring sound, texture and atmosphere, the music of Jason Sloan is smooth and spacious. It opens up and fills ambient areas with the slow motion of sustaining chords and a gradual metamorphosis of timbre. By adding the elements of rhythm and melody, his Spacemusic works provide a surprisingly deeper examination of the interior landscape.

ST∆ER 08.22.21
ST∆ER is the solo project of Philadelphia-based Electronic Musician Ian R Staer. Fully and effectively imagined, his music opens up a warm and beautiful space, then moves slowly through it - providing a rich, fully formed musical environment we will want to visit over and again.

Hotel Neon 08.29.21
Hotel Neon is a Philadelphia based Ambient drone trio. Consisting of Michael Tasselmyer,Andrew Tasselmyer and Steven Kemner, their music is characterized by blissed-out, gently moving forms and slowly evolving atmospheres. In understated works for processed electric guitars and deep synthesizer tones they entice the audience into a dreamy, wordless state.
