We thank you to all who attended and were involved! Truly takes the whole soup to have such soul come through with the play-crew!!

:::::

Reading from : TUNINGS journal, volume 1: @tuningsjournal via something akin to bibliomancy clown? The Passage that came through was by Sophie Toliashvili ( @sofja.to ) With deepest respect to all who contributed to Tunings; people did walk away considering why more Georgians don’t go to Armenia, the tuning to collective sound, story, and meaning.

& On Meditation by some guy named Rupert Spira (who I don’t know / doesn’t really matter but really does and that’s cool for finding that book thanks dad!) (always read as many perspectives on mediation you can!) taken in Olympia, Washington by @ism_oly

ISM OLY @ism_oly - Experimental Music & Art Festival. Sunday Day Three Highlights! What a very cool and interesting not to mention fire performances with sounds we have not ever heard put together. These artists I caught on film last night, though we saw even more than this! Can’t wait to do the whole thing next year. This was so weird and we love it that way! 👽🧪🔥✨✨✨
Tagged are all the performers I caught yesterday between @decay_olympia @le.voyeur.olympia & @cryptatropa_shows 🔥🔥🔥
I also wanna shout out @s__maiden who had us in a trance at @le.voyeur.olympia last night and I couldn’t get any footage but holy hell they were brilliant! 🥹🫠
