A night of music and movement to benefit Cascades Community Placement Services in their quest to find housing for all who need it.
Featuring:
Synchromystica
Some music asks you to dance. This one asks you to cross over.Synchromystica is the ceremonial project of Pacific North-West producer Mr. Moo. Psychedelic bass at ritual tempo, slow enough that the low end stops being rhythm and starts being weather. Live players over the bass. More rite than rave.The name is the method. Synchromysticism: reading the pattern inside the coincidence, taking the signal seriously when it arrives disguised as an accident.First conjured in 2016. Quiet since 2019. Awake again now.An amulet, a slow drum, and a room of pilgrims walking out different than they walked in.
