Dallas Skies (Dallas Bernard), Karnblack (Mike Berry), and E J R M (Drew Geiger) come together for an immersive ambient performance exploring texture, space, and emotion through guitar pedal systems, modular rigs, and analog synthesis.
Blending atmospheric guitar, cinematic electronic soundscapes, and deeply reflective ambient tones, each artist will present a 15-minute solo set, showcasing their individual approach to electronic effects and evolving sound design. The evening closes with a collaborative finale, where layered loops, synthesis, and live processing merge into a shared moment of calm, connection, and introspection.
Featuring openers Reiner Kramer & Jon Forshee.
