Whispers From the Forest (Part 3): Rhythm and Melody in Electric [Rain]Forest
One of the most engaging aspects of Electric Forest is the assembly of music and talent featured throughout its grounds, and upon its stages. The lineup for this weekend boasted a bevy of heavies, solid musical aficionados aplenty, and joined by many rising stars. Plus, you never know who’s gonna pop up on the renegade…

Whispers from the Forest (Part 2): Discourse and Sagacity, in Electric Forest
Just as beautiful and magical as the majesty of Electric Forest’s presentations are the variety of souls that show up to spectate, and interact with one another. People, by way of how they dress and deliver themselves, are absolutely works of art, in my mind. Crossing paths with folks all the way from New York…

Whispers from the Forest (Part 1): Imagination in Electric [Art]Forest
About a month ago, I landed in Rothbury for the annual Electric Forest music festival. This is a grandiose celebration, and throughout the grounds you’ll discover a bevy of creativity conceived and crafted by human hands. It may not always seem as such. The size and scope of many of these installations, as well as…

Summer Camp’s Evolution: The Meaning of Solshine Reverie (Part 2)
*Continued from part 1. Illumination Woods was my absolute vibe all weekend long. Everyone who performed this stage was a musical maestro presenting originality in forms I’m happy I discovered. Here’s a fun fact from Al Schierer, 20twenty was the twentieth artist to appear on the Illumination Woods stage. Me and the homies are hanging…

Summer Camp’s Evolution: The Meaning of Solshine Reverie (Part 1)
This past weekend, I made my way to the memorable grounds of Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. This has long been the home of Summer Camp Music Festival, since its inaugural two-day event in 2001. Fast-forward to 2024, and Summer Camp is going through something of a rebranding. Now, it’s Summer Camp Presents: Solshine…

Solar Tide Celebration: Effects Not Limited to the Earth and Moon
It’s never too late to reflect on a lively and lovely affair; a little over two weeks ago, I attended Solar Tide, a two-day event held at the Patio Theater in Chicago, IL on May 10+11. I had an excellent feeling about this occasion, and largely because of my previous experience at Lunar Tide Music…

Rendezvous, Oui? Conversations about Community, Creativity, and Compassion (Part 2)
*This piece is a dedication towards collaboration within this community that I adore. It features components of conversations and interactions with attendees, like myself, which I intend to reverberate outwards and impactfully inspire others on their journeys. If I can use my verbosity and insight from others to help your progression, and show you some…

Rendezvous, Oui? The New Getaway for Next-Gen Glitch//Trip-Hop (Part 1)
*There is so much for me to describe from the weekend that was Rendezvous, I have elected to do it in two parts. The first will mainly focus on performers and action in the amphitheater while the second will serve a more personal account of my time amongst the campground, vendors, community, and artistry. Trust…

Lunar Tide Music and Arts Festival (Day 2)
The events of day one impressed in such a way that I harbored high hopes for day two’s entertainment. I would not be disappointed. From the moment I entered the building shortly after 8pm Saturday night, energy surged throughout. I could tell tonight was going to be special. As I made my way to embrace…

Lunar Tide Music and Arts Festival (Day 1)
I imagined Lunar Tide as a dojo where three orders of sound, Elements, Funktion, and Hennessy, would square off in a display of technique. I was not far wrong. However, this isn’t combat. It’s a celebration. Any sparring is metaphorical, and for the benefit of entertainment. There is a friendliness between crews, as the personnel…
