"Sommeil: A Concert for Sleep will be Menard’s reinterpretation of the sleep concert experiment, first created by Robert Rich in 1982 and will be presented at the Antenna Gallery 3161 Burgundy St New Orleans, LA 70117 in the heart of the St Claude Arts District. The concert will be realized with Rich’s permission and guidance. Sleep concerts are all-night events in which the audience is asked to attend the concert with a sleeping bag and pillow and to fall asleep while a slowly unfolding sonic texture evolves over the course of the night and into the morning. People attending the event are asked to be willing to sleep during the event or at least to remain silent during the course of the nine hour experience. Not merely a recreation of Rich’s original idea, Sommeil is a conceptual, global remix of a performance type that addresses one of the most basic functionalities of ambient and environmental sound; music by which to sleep."You can find more info on the event at tanner menard.
Note I have a pretty hard line rule on only putting up posts that showcase specific synths, but I thought this one warranted an exception. You can find more info on Robert Rich here. He's primarily been given a bit of coverage here for his use of the MOTM modular. Note this event will not feature Robert Rich, but a link to his site is of course relevant for background on the music.
