Optic Echo Showcase mixes 3 & 4

Parts 3 and 4 of my mixes for the Optic Echo Ambient Showcase during the 2012 Closer Music Festival: www.closerpdx.com

On Sunday, June 24, wrapping up the Closer Festival weekend with an amalgamation of experimental, ambient, and modern classical sound, the Optic Echo Ambient Showcase takes place at Director Park, an open space in downtown Portland.

Featuring live performances from:

MARCUS FISCHER + THE OO-RAY (Optic Echo, 12k, Audiomoves, PDX)

ETHERNET (Kranky, Tamarack Music, PDX)

WIDESKY (Hibernate, FutureSequence, SEA)

WNDFRM (Optic Echo, Nueva Forma, PDX)

And DJ sets from:

MIKE JEDLICKA (Optic Echo, Aleatoric, PDX)

We are also celebrating the release of "Tessellations', a new, collaborative LP from Marcus Fischer and Ted Laderas (The OO-Ray), on Optic Echo Records (out summer 2012). This showcase will be a rare opportunity to hear them present the looped cello tones and hazy ambience in a live format.
