Listening Parties??

I think I'd prefer to sit & listen to an artist experiment
with some kit all night, something to take my mind on a
journey without feeling like I should be flapping my arms.

The Orb used to host these kinds of things way back, I cant
think of the name tho. I heard Aphex did something similar
too.

Are there any events that cater for this?

if you get a chance, check people like tim hecker, jan
jelinek, scanner, fennesz,...they dont do much gigs tho, so
it could be a problem

i like variety...music for listening and music to get wild
to :)

i want to rent out a storage room in some club in town and
turn it into an intimate experimental venue like once a
month or something...

Id like to buy an old warehouse, and turn it into like a
multimedia center...

like, have lots of shows and stuff, with music, and visuals,
but also, like, during the day, have access for the youth to
learn electronic gear and studio stuff etc...

it would have been awesome if I had some place like that to
go to when I was growing up.

It would be free for people under 18 to use... and others
would have to pay (need to make an income somehow!) and I
guess concerts would be either free, or dirt cheap, like a
dollar

i dunno

and it would also have a listening library... so people
could listen to new music.

I guess the catch would be, you cant check it out, and leave
with it... cause people would copy it etc

*shrug*

alot of bugs to work out... but thats my basic plan

shit like dis needs ta happen... sure artists are important,
but there needs to be a supportive climate for musical
scenes to thrive

mmmmm, I was thinking along the lines of some people from
the msg board joining forces to create a kind of open mic
event for sound & visual artists. I'm sure if enough of us
joined forces we would have enough resources to put on a
gig, start small & work our way from there.

Anyone else think this might be worth pursuing?

the kid koala show last month was like that. "the short
attention span theater". they even set up chairs throughout
the entire club so you had to just sit down and enjoy
everything. it was great. awesome show.

That's a really good idea.
