Me and Beats Antique this coming Friday!

2009-06-06T21:40:59Z

The tribal music event of the season! Don't miss the unstopable trio as they rock Boston for one night only! It's an early night so make sure you're there for doors!

BEATS ANTIQUE, an Oakland based group featuring ZOE JAKES, DAVID SATORI, AND SIDECAR TOMMY, have stumbled down the rabbit hole and emerged anew on the other side. COLLIDE is a product of that absurd adventure, forging a curious alliance between middle eastern traditions and potent west coast circus, underground hip hop, breakbeat brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep. BEATS ANTIQUE'S second album has brought the paradox of electro-acoustic music into the future.

The event includes:
-Opening performances by Incus (tribal medicine rock) and Vadalna Tribal Dance Co.!
-World Beat set from Boston's own d.j. lavoie!

Doors open @ 7:30PM
Show starts @ 8:00PM

Tickets: $20 in advance; $25 at the door

TO ORDER TICKETS GO TO: WWW. VADALNA.COM

Start Time: Friday, June 12, 2009 at 8:00pm
End Time: Saturday, June 13, 2009 at 12:00am
Location: Spontaneous Celebrations
Street: 45 Danforth Street
City/Town: Jamaica Plain, MA

Space seems permanently closed to us.

2008-09-03T19:41:28Z

So... word on the street is that the Cambridge licensing board is not issuing any more permits for the Marsh Post Space. ...

effectively canceling our August and September parties.

We will have one if we can find a space to do so.

Got one in mind? Send me an email...

Firefly 2008 Call for Art and Theme Camps

2008-05-10T18:43:49Z

this is the tale of an enchanted land that was never quite the same place twice*

the land of ampersandy, was built by a firefly,
who was very fond of rain and people - so that when she went burning,
she could take the people with her thru her dazzling razzamaTAZ!

doot doot doot doot - da doot da doot da do-oo

if i may spout about the land of ampersandy....

don't worry, it won't hurt
now you are under the spell of the green man's ginger...

this firefly has quite the acumen,
holding unconditional love for every type of human
although she tends to be practically illusive
to those not prepared to be radically inclusive

the first of ten insightful thoughts she holds dear
when dazzling the razzamaTAZ we do our best to adhere
we come best prepared and rely on ourselves
to charm the pixies, the sprites, & the elves
so that they may befriend us and instead pranks
they may bless us with the everlasting joy of spanks
we know stress to impress is illusion of oppression
and get down and dirty with the radical self-expression
we water our plants with just as much care
as we would each others', as we collectively share
immediately with the moment & every happenstance
we deconstruct our barriers as we prepare to dance

the firefly sends you this transmission - in order to burn she request your ignition

by drawing & dancing, sculpting & spinning,
painting, projecting, writing & singing,
silk flying & screaming, building & breathing
jamming & spanking, glitching & beating,
stringing & stretching, hooping & humming
mixing & mash uping, teaching & strumming,

spread the good word! for art she calls! - be fine or unfinished the bug welcomes all!

a tip from the luna moths; they say there's a buzz
on getting prepared over what the moon does
this year the land will be shown the new moon
of this they warn we may wish to attune

while new beginnings are born on this night
it remains the darkest; we aim to be bright!
let our art shine & blink & radiantly glow
enlightening our nights as we reap what we sow*

Firefly happens July 3-6, 2008. TICKETS GO ON SALE MONDAY, MAY 12!

Everyone needs a ticket, including performers and organizers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>+<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Firefly is a community of some of the most creative people in New England and beyond. Each year we come together to be inspired by the woods and by each other. Making and sharing art is central to our collective vision.

If you are an experienced artist, we would love for you and your work to join us. If you are just beginning to explore your creativity, Firefly is an ideal environment in which to experiment. Here the strange is welcomed, and art does not need to make money to be valuable or impress anyone to find a home
and an open-minded audience.

Creating art for Firefly is one of the best ways to participate!

INSTALLATION
Firefly creates a unique relationship between the
natural and the artificial. Some of our favorite
memories are of works of art placed in special natural
environments where they suddenly seem to belong. In
past years Firefly explorers have come across a rose
garden in the woods, a glowing galaxy in the meadow,
disco balls hung from trees, and a winged frog sitting
above a brook. We would love to see more sculpture and
installation art, and we have plenty of space for it.

PERFORMANCE
DJ's, bands, and performers of all types are essential
to Firefly. The festival is full of opportunities for
jamming and imporvised performance. Scheduled
performances with amplified sound are also possible
when a performer collaborates with a camp that is able
to provide a sound system. If you are a performer, you
can turn your camp into your ideal venue, or use the
discussion lists to find another camp to host you.
*** If you need help finding a place to
play, contact our music coordinator at:
performance@fireflyartscollective.org ***

FIRE
Fireflies love fire performance and all types of fire
art. These things happen in designated areas with
respect for safety, of course.
For more information write to:
fire@fireflyartscollective.org.

DANCE
For many insects, dancing is an important form of
communication. For many humans, it is a reason to
exist. Come dance with us.

VIDEO
VJ art and video screenings are also an important part
of Firefly. In the past theme camps have provided
projectors and screens. If you have something to show,
use the discussion lists to find a camp that would
like to screen it.

GLOWING ***note note- it's a new moon!***
Of course Fireflies' favorite activity of all is
glowing. At night our village lights up with lasers,
LED's, EL wire, glow sticks, and blacklight painting.
Glowing art is always welcome.

COSTUME
This is your opportunity to dress how you feel, or
become a character from your own mythology.

CAMPING
You need a home at Firefly, and your home can be your art, or a home for your friends' art. For more info see:
http://www.fireflyartscollective.org/tiki-index.php?page=Themecamps

WHATEVER
If you make art that does not fit into any of the
categories on this page, we'd especially like to
experience it.

SPACE
Your creativity can turn a clearing in the woods into
a perfect place for meditation, ritual, dancing,
performance, chilling, teaching, or partying. Wide,
flat, open spaces are rare at Firefly. However, if you
design your project to fit among the trees, you will
have many beautiful sites from which to choose. There
is no official system for assigning or reserving
sites. As long as you show respect for your neighbors,
your project can go wherever you choose.

POWER
Electricity is available in limited areas. If your
project requires it, write to dpw@fireflyartscollective.org,
or use the discussion lists to find a camp with a generator.

PLANNING
Firefly is a Leave No Trace event. This means your
project should be planned to have minimal impact on
the land, and you will be expected to remove it
entirely at the end of the event. Often nature puts
Firefly to the test with rain, mud, and cold. Don't
let this scare you, but be prepared for an adventure.
Shuttles are generally available to move supplies from
the parking area to the event and back, but shuttle
service can be interrupted by unforeseen
circumstances. If your site does not happen to be near
the main road, you may need to move your gear quite a
ways on foot. If you're new to Firefly and you're
planning something big, use the discussion lists to
network with experienced Firefly artists and learn
what to expect.

GRANTS
Firefly is proud to offer small grants for some art
projects. For more information, see the Grants page.

HEAD-STARTS
If you would like to start setting up your project
before the event, you are welcome to join us for the
Work Weekends. We ask that you and your crew also
devote some time to infrastructure projects that are
necessary to the entire event. When planning, remember
that gear you bring in over several days may be
difficult to remove in one day at the end of the
festival.

CONTACT
You don't need permission to bring your art to
Firefly, but if you're planning something, we'd love
to hear from you. Send a brief description of your
project to art@fireflyartscollective.org and we can
add it to the web site. Also feel free to write to
that address with any questions for Firefly planners.

POSSIBILITY
Anything is possible at Firefly with collaboration
between participants. If you have an idea but need
volunteers, advice, or resources to make it happen,
posting to the Discussion Lists and Tribe is the best
way to find them.

Leads needed for possible new Firefly site

2008-01-31T00:00:58Z

From the Firefly Land Search Committee:

Hello Citizen of the World,

Firefly, the New England Regional Burn, is looking
for land... and we need your help!

We have been extremely lucky to have had a home in
Vermont the past four years, but issues with the land
and event growing pains are making it necessary for us
to explore other options.

The basic requirements for land for Firefly are:
-Within 4ish-hour drive from Boston.
-Enough land for 500+ people to camp and cavort on.
(Past sites have been ~100 acres. While large is good,
we don't necessarily need a bigger space and depending
on the the layout, a significantly smaller site could
also work.)
-Parking capacity for 200+ cars.
-Isolated enough that 24/hr music and noise will not
disturb neighbors.
-Permits fire.

If you have any leads, we'd love to hear about them.

Please send suggestions to the Firefly Land Search
Committee at fireflyland@xuth.net.

Feel free to re-post this message to other
appropriate distribution lists or tribes.

For more info on Firefly, please go to
http://www.fireflyartscollective.org .

Thanks!

THE HISTORY OF GOA/PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE
Current mood: nostalgic
Category: Music

PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE V.S. GOA TRANCE

The term "psychedelic trance" is used almost synonymously with "Goa trance". Goa trance is a precursor to the late 1990s psychedelic trance, which utilizes more sophisticated melodic devices and distinctive basslines. Goa trance is an almost completely defunct genre of music, based on the fact that few if any contemporary artists would describe the music they create as being of this genre. The term "Psychedelic trance" is used to distinguish the newer material made by many artists, who were formerly known to have produced Goa trance. Full On is a sub-genre characterized by "solidly driven" basslines, melodies, and frequent use of DSP Effects. Notable artists include, Spain's (Ibiza) Growling Mad Scientists G.M.S. and Israel's Astrix in comparison to the more "clubbier" minimalist and less melodic genres, such as progressive trance with more of a psychedelic influence, exemplified by many Scandinavian and German artists, including Sweden's Son Kite. Many use the term Goa trance to simply distinguish those pieces which seem to incorporate eastern, Indian, or "organic" melodies (see raga), derived from sources, like Indian classical music. This makes it easier to identify those which don't incorporate such elements, which listeners would call Psychedelic trance. These pieces tend to be more experimental and futuristic (in the case of Full on), usually using programmed melodies juxtapositionally derived from minor arpeggios Cm7, Dm7, Em7, etc and other exotic or unusual harmonic combinations (see transposition), with the intent of being multi-timbral (see glissando). Both genres, however, continue to use samples taken from sources, like sci-fi films, documentaries, etc.

HISTORY

Raja Ram has been experimenting with psychedelic trance as early as the 1980s. He has been part of numerous projects including the well-known ambient group Shpongle, The Infinity Project and 1200 Micrograms. He is also the owner of the TIP World record label.
Psychedelic trance developed out of the early 1990s Goa Trance scene through the influence of artists such as Timeshard and Eat Static, both on the Planet Dog record label.
The first pure Psychedelic trance label was Dragonfly Records, formed by the artist and trance producer Martin "Youth" Glover (a former bassist for the band Killing Joke) in Brixton, London. For this he took advantage of the organization and the studio of his already existing label, Butterfly Records. It quickly became the center of the London Psychedelic trance scene. Raja Ram and Graham Wood first produced here as The Infinity Project. Simon Posford, who worked as a sound engineer at Butterfly, later released his legendary album, Twisted as Hallucinogen on Dragonfly. This album featured the classic track "LSD" featuring a voice sample from acid guru Ken Kesey. The first compilation from Dragonfly was released as a trance sampler and was soon followed by another compilation titled Project II Trance in August of 1993. These included work from such well-known artists as the French project Total Eclipse and Mandra Gora. In 1994 it released singles from Man With No Name, Prana, Ayahuasca, Slinky Wizard and Doof. The signature Order Odonata compilation was released the same year.
At this point the scene was growing rapidly and many new labels were created. Return To The Source, a party collective first appeared. Raja Ram and Graham Wood went on to found their own label, called TIP Records (now TIP World). Tsuyoshi Suzuki worked with John Perloff to create the Matsuri Productions label. Flying Rhino Records was established by James Monro, Dominic Lamb and George Barker (Slinky Wizard), who hired Sally Welch as manager. Simon Berry founded Platipus Records, who among other things, released the first vinyl by Technossomy. It also out licensed the famous Robert Miles' "Children". Simon's own project, Union Jack released their morning trance album There will be no Armageddon in 1996, featuring well-known tracks such as "Red Herring", "Cactus" and "Two Full Moons and a Trout".
Around this time a new label emerged in UK. Some consider Blue Room Released to be of the most important, and unusual, labels in the Psychedelic trance genre. It was led by Simon Ghahary and had solid financial backing from a British loudspeaker company. Allegedly, Ghahary had free reign to spend the money as he saw fit, regardless of sales figures. This allowed Blue Room to move away from "classic" Goa trance into new, more experimental directions. Some of the most well-known artists today were signed and had their work distributed on the Blue Room Released label. Their first compilation was titled "Outside The Reactor" was released in April of 1995 and featured work from artists such as Total Eclipse, Har-El Prussky, and Voodoo People. Three of the most well known projects - Juno Reactor, Total Eclipse and The Infinity Project also released their debut albums that year. Soon the German project X-Dream started working with Blue Room as well, releasing their "The Frog" single and the highly influential Radio album. At its height, the label went on to release such works as Violent Relaxation by Total Eclipse, Juno Reactor's Bible of Dreams, Saafi Brothers' Mystic Cigarettes and Dragon Tales by Koxbox.
Despite being the center of production for Psychedelic trance in the mid 1990s, England had a very limited party scene. This mostly due to the Criminal Justice Bill and requirements for early closing hours in nightclubs. On the other hand, Germany had much more liberal laws, which in addition to the recent unification contributed to the development of the scene there. The German label Spirit Zone Records opened up in 1994, and ended up signing on many foreign artists such as The Infinity Project (UK), K.U.R.O. (Japan), Etnica (Italy), and Har-El Prussky (Israel). It was also the home label of many German artists such as Electric Universe, Star Sounds Orchestra and S.U.N. Project. France was also becoming an increasingly important location, with not only Total Eclipse, but the now famous projects like Talamasca and Transwave emerging.

PROJECT II TRANCE, THE FIRST PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE COMPILATION

Around 1997, the original Goa trance scene was undergoing hard times, especially in the UK. Sales dropped and many big labels such as Flying Rhino went bankrupt, while others had to reinvent themselves and emerge under a new name as did TIP World. The death of Goa trance was "officially" declared by Tsuyoshi Suzuki on his Let it RIP album, where the liner notes read "RIP: Mother Theresa, Princess Diana, William Burroughs, Goa trance."
The new sound of what would become the Psychedelic trance of today emerged at this time. It included elements of minimal and progressive trance, house, and techno, while focusing less on the original Goa melodies. Germany became the center of this movement in 1997 and 1998. Many Swedish artists also emerged playing a more progressive sound. The most successful and well known is Tomasz Balicki (Atmos). His track "Klein Aber Doctor" was the most successful release for Flying Rhino yet, which was in the process of restructuring. Even the Dragonfly label stated to switch to this new progressive sound, and Psychedelic trance was once again becoming popular. Debut releases from Atmos, Noma, S-Range and Son Kite only cemented this fact and made Sweden an important producer of psychedelic trance.
Soon Psychedelic trance was expanding rapidly once again, and for the first time differences became apparent in the music being produced in different countries. Parallel scenes also developed in countries like Israel, Germany, South Africa and Japan. There are also smaller, but active scenes in India, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Thailand, Denmark, Poland, Canada and even the United States.

DEVELOPMENT IN ISRAEL

In 1988 changes in the law and political situation of Israel, allowed many Israelis to acquire Indian travel visas for the first time, many having just completed military service and wanting a complete change of environment. The beaches of Goa were a natural destination. Many Israelis returned from their trips bringing with them recordings of this new style of music. Developing in almost complete isolation from the scenes elsewhere, Israeli DJs emerged playing their own variations on the sound. These included individuals such as Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter (SFX and later Astral Projection), Har-El Prussky and Miko (California Sunshine), Guy Sebbag, Avi Algranati (Phreaky, Space Cat) and Ofer Dikovsky (Oforia). Naturally, Israeli labels formed, including Melodia Records, Trust In Trance Records, Phonokol and Krembo Records. With the emergence of new innovative artists such as Infected Mushroom, psychedelic trance firmly established itself in the alternative culture in Israel, more so than in any other country in the world.

COMMERCIAL SUCCCES

In recent years, sales of psychedelic trance have been falling. The decline was : -2,8% in 2001, and -8,8% in 2002. A typical album usually sells around 2,000 copies, and selling more than 5,000 copies would be considered a success. There are only a handful of artists who sold more than 20,000 copies, including Hallucinogen, G.M.S., Infected Mushroom, Transwave, and Astral Projection. Hallucinogen's Twisted has had the most commercial success to date, selling around 85,000 copies.
The reasons for this decline in public interest include overproduction, copyright infringement, and lack of publicity. In fact, the market has not grown much, however the number of new labels and artists has increased exponentially. Much of psychedelic trance is also channeled through illegal copying by sharing of music, particularly among students and streaming audio on the internet. Although this has opened up the market to newcomers, most of these fans do not have the ability to purchase music since it is not normally distributed in mainstream record stores (mostly internet shops).

PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE SCENE

Psychedelic trance is often played at outdoor festivals. The festivals often take place over a few days with music being played through the night and well into the next day. These big events usually offer a lot parallel activities, not just music. The Psy Trance scene is very concerned about ecology and nature, and hence it's very usual to find a lot of workshops with educational activities against racism, and promoting love and care for Our Mother Nature.
The big trance festivals often form a small independent city, where some 10,000 people from different places of the world meet to celebrate music and life. During winter many parties take place in clubs in modern suburbia or on the many beaches in foreign climes frequented by travellers.
Some people at these festivals frequently consume psychedelic drugs like LSD and psychedelic mushrooms. The smoking of Cannabis is widespread within the global psy-trance scene. Drugs such as Ecstasy, cocaine and amphetamine are also used to some extent. There is also a large portion of the psytrance community - including many successful artists, dj's, party organizers and party goers - who do not use drugs, or no longer use drugs. Many of these people believe experiencing the music in the intended spirit of the festivals is the high in and of itself.
While psychedelic trance music is a global phenomenon, it is particularly popular in Brazil, Japan, India, Israel, Germany, Mexico, Russia, the UK, South Africa and Australia.

PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE ARTISTS AND PROJECTS

Psychedelic trance is often produced in a collaboration between two or more artists, called a "project". Somewhat different from other genres of music is the fact that one artist could be part of as much as ten or more projects, often simulteneously. Each different combination of artists almost always has a unique name. For example X-Dream (Jan Muller and Marcus Maichel) and Planet B.E.N. (Ben Wierzoch) are two well known projects from Germany. The collaboration between Jan and Ben is called Organic Noise and the collaboration between Marcus and Ben is called Fools and Tools. This partly accounts for the large number of psychedelic trance projects.
As shown above the names of projects made up of the same artists can often be unrelated, although this is not always the case. For example, many projects involving Infected Mushroom are often prefixed with the word "Infected" or postfixed with the word "Mushroom" (Examples: Domestic Mushroom, Infected Astrix).
Making things even more confusing is the fact that the same exact artist(s) or group(s) of artists will sometimes produce music under different project names to showcase different variations of their music. Quasar also known as "Pulsar"(Dance oriented variations) as well as "Trancention" (Lighter trance music),but are really the same artists Quasar and Pulsar VanderHousen.
Very few psychedelic trance artists release albums under their own name (Tim Schuldt & Shanti Matkin are two exceptions). Instead, the name of the project is sometimes chosen to describe the theme of the music being produced. Not surprisingly, Crop Circles and Pleiadians releases are focused on the topic of space travel.

PsyBooty Records :: Evan Marc "Emotional Ecology" :: OUT JULY 13th!

2007-06-20T05:34:25Z

PsyBooty Records is proud to present the release of Bluetech's
highly anticipated new project - "Emotional Ecology" by Evan Marc!

Evan Marc - "Emotional Ecology"
Release Date: July 13, 2007
Label: PsyBooty Records (PbCD004)

TRACKLISTING:

1- Skyline
2- Centigrade
3- Silver
4- Lineform
5- Shuffle Bits
6- Active Ingredient
7- Stamen
8- Spacesuit
9- Divide By Zero
10- Ekoshok
11- Spiralhouse

About the Album & Artist:

Brooding, ambient, experimentation, improvisation, filled with emotion…
These are some of the words that describe the sound of Evan Marc
(aka Bluetech). A classically trained pianist and master of the art
of software production, Evan's love of the melodic and exquisite sense
of sound design makes him one of the most ingenious producers today.

Evan achieved international recognition and success with his downtempo/
chill-out project, Bluetech, making waves in the chill-out world with
his unique sound and top-notch production quality. He released three
full length albums on Aleph Zero Records and Waveform Records, as well
as starting his own imprint, Native State Records, and touring
internationally. A need to expand his sound led him to explore his
love for tech-house resulting in his latest album, "Emotional
Ecology."

On "Emotional Ecology," Evan delves into the deeper side of tech-house,
presenting a melodic and dub influenced album with a focus on dance
floor usability and emotional development.

"I really wanted to make an album which brought a sense of the sacred to
the dance floor," Evan says of the album. "I've always loved the sense
of play that people feel when they release themselves to the moment in
dance. It's light hearted, healing, and holy all at the same time.
This album was written for people who dance. It was written to make a
safe space for people to let themselves go and experience magic
through movement."

The album is already receiving support and play from influential DJs,
labels, and artists spanning a variety of electronic music genres
including Gordon Field (Interchill Records), Gio (Dakini Records /
Makyo), Taho (Lumina Records), System 7, and more.

Evan's signature touch on the tech-house sound is sure to make
"Emotional Ecology" a stand out release in the genre and a sought
after release for collectors who know premium quality electronic music.
PsyBooty Records is proud to present yet another ground breaking,
genre bending masterpiece by Evan Marc.

Reviews:

"One of the worlds leading purveyors of IDM brings his talents to the
world of tech house, with his classic melodies and soaring dub beats,
Evan Marc drops an intelligent, deep and beautiful album for the dance floor."
- Michael Hodgson (Pitch Black, Dubmission Records)

"Evan's sound is as always, unique and inspiring. It's dance music you
can chill to. Un-offensive, but still bumping - right where my heart is
headed these days!" - Simon Baring (Twisted Records)

"Once again Evan reveals his depth and versatility as one of the most
innovative musician/producers around. Emotional Ecology is a brilliant
cross-over travelogue that's sure to rock clubs and trance floors world
wide." - Naasko (Label Manager, Interchill Records)

"Wonderful rich deep housey grooves, imbued with Evan's distinctive
sonic signature that we so appreciate on his Bluetech releases. We've
been playing this a lot and it's really one of our favorites at the
moment." - Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy (System 7)

"Solid leading edge debut album from Evan Marc - highly recommended"
- Andrew Ross Collins (Interchill Records, Macro Records, Mariko Music
Publishing)

FIREFLY 2007 CALL FOR ART

2007-04-04T01:34:18Z

It was a long winter, in a world too long at war, in a
nation lacking leaders. Those of us who hibernated in
a city of puritans saw insult added to injury. Here
youth and joy must end early in the night. Here the
unexpected is stared at, feared, and blown up by men
in black suits. They have entered our favorite hiding
places and taken our friends, libeled them, condemned
them for smiling back at their absurdity.

But the snow has melted and new green peeks up from
the mud. Our blood is warming with that
oh-so-familiar energy that allows us to carry the
heaviest things to the furthest places in our frenzy
to create and be free. Soon we will return to our own
village.

There the strange is welcomed. There art is free,
with no one to impress but friends. There joy can
last all night and all day and all night and even some
of the next morning. There cooperation is the only
power. There the only object that needs to be blown
up is the explosive-packed butt of a giant wooden Bug.

The Bug hereby calls upon the artists of Boston to
assemble in the woods and RE-AFFIRM OUR RIGHT TO GLOW.
It further calls upon artists from all other lands to
join us, inspire us, dress our wounds and blow our
minds.

In its fifth year the Bug is hungry and demands art.
It needs dancing, spinning, playing, singing,
painting, drawing, sculpting, writing, speaking,
screaming, beating, strumming, humming, breathing,
building, teaching, mixing, shooting, projecting, and
silk-rigged flight.

Now you might ask the Bug, didn’t you demand these
things last year, and didn’t you give us a hard time
getting them to you? And it might say that this year
we’ll be smarter, or luckier. And it might point out
that nature at her bitchiest is still a better boss
than any we’ve met in the city. But whether you buy
that or not, know that even if the Bug rejects all our
gifts, we will blow it up, and the fire that results
will warm us up enough to make it through the next
long winter.

_________________

Please forward to someone whose art makes you happy:

_________________

Firefly is a community of some of the most creative
people in New England and beyond. Each year we come
together to be inspired by the woods and by each
other. Making and sharing art is central to our
collective vision.

If you are an experienced artist, we would love for
you and your work to join us. If you are just
beginning to explore your creativity, Firefly is an
ideal environment in which to experiment. Here the
strange is welcomed, and art does not need to make
money to be valuable or impress anyone to find a home
and an open-minded audience.

Creating art for Firefly is one of the best ways to
participate.

INSTALLATION
Firefly creates a unique relationship between the
natural and the artificial. Some of our favorite
memories are of works of art placed in special natural
environments where they suddenly seem to belong. In
past years Firefly explorers have come across a rose
garden in the woods, a glowing galaxy in the meadow,
disco balls hung from trees, and a winged frog sitting
above a brook. We would love to see more sculpture and
installation art, and we have plenty of space for it.

PERFORMANCE
DJ's, bands, and performers of all types are essential
to Firefly. The festival is full of opportunities for
jamming and imporvised performance. Scheduled
performances with amplified sound are also possible
when a performer collaborates with a camp that is able
to provide a sound system. If you are a performer, you
can turn your camp into your ideal venue, or use the
discussion lists to find another camp to host you.

FIRE
Fireflies love fire performance and all types of fire
art. These things happen in designated areas with
respect for safety, of course. For more information
write to fire@fireflyartscollective.org.

DANCE
For many insects, dancing is an important form of
communication. For many humans, it is a reason to
exist. Come dance with us.

VIDEO
VJ art and video screenings are also an important part
of Firefly. In the past theme camps have provided
projectors and screens. If you have something to show,
use the discussion lists to find a camp that would
like to screen it.

GLOWING
Of course Fireflies' favorite activity of all is
glowing. At night our village lights up with lasers,
LED's, EL wire, glow sticks, and blacklight painting.
Glowing art is always welcome.

COSTUME
This is your opportunity to dress how you feel, or
become a character from your own mythology.

CAMPING
You need a home at Firefly, and your home can be your
art, or a home for your friends' art. For more info
see
http://www.fireflyartscollective.org/tiki-index.php?page=Themecamps
.

GIFTS
Firefly is a gift economy-- you may want to make
something special to share. Gifts of food and drink
are always appreciated.

WHATEVER
If you make art that does not fit into any of the
categories on this page, we'd especially like to
experience it.

SPACE
Your creativity can turn a clearing in the woods into
a perfect place for meditation, ritual, dancing,
performance, chilling, teaching, or partying. Wide,
flat, open spaces are rare at Firefly. However, if you
design your project to fit among the trees, you will
have many beautiful sites from which to choose. There
is no official system for assigning or reserving
sites. As long as you show respect for your neighbors,
your project can go wherever you choose.

POWER
Electricity is available in limited areas. If your
project requires it, write to
dpw@fireflyartscollective.org, or use the discussion
lists to find a camp with a generator.

PLANNING
Firefly is a Leave No Trace event. This means your
project should be planned to have minimal impact on
the land, and you will be expected to remove it
entirely at the end of the event. Often nature puts
Firefly to the test with rain, mud, and cold. Don't
let this scare you, but be prepared for an adventure.
Shuttles are generally available to move supplies from
the parking area to the event and back, but shuttle
service can be interrupted by unforeseen
circumstances. If your site does not happen to be near
the main road, you may need to move your gear quite a
ways on foot. If you're new to Firefly and you're
planning something big, use the discussion lists to
network with experienced Firefly artists and learn
what to expect.

GRANTS
Firefly is proud to offer small grants for some art
projects. For more information, see the Grants page.

HEAD-STARTS
If you would like to start setting up your project
before the event, you are welcome to join us for the
Work Weekends. We ask that you and your crew also
devote some time to infrastructure projects that are
necessary to the entire event. When planning, remember
that gear you bring in over several days may be
difficult to remove in one day at the end of the
festival.

CONTACT
You don't need permission to bring your art to
Firefly, but if you're planning something, we'd love
to hear from you. Send a brief description of your
project to art@fireflyartscollective.org and we can
add it to the web site. Also feel free to write to
that address with any questions for Firefly planners.

POSSIBILITY
Anything is possible at Firefly with collaboration
between participants. If you have an idea but need
volunteers, advice, or resources to make it happen,
posting to the Discussion Lists and Tribe is the best
way to find them.

i just came across this tribe... brought up a funny/traumatic memory... i used to live in vermont and in the summer of '02 i went down to a circle/gnomefatty party (my first and last) in new hampshire with a carful of vt kids. we ended up getting there real late, like 4 in the morning or so. we all got down to dancin and as the sun was starting to rise a little while later i heard someone yell "LOOK OUT!!!" i turned around and the last thing i remember is seeing someone flying towards me. i woke up a bit later on the ground with a pounding pain in the my head. turns out they had a zipline running right through the middle of the dance floor, and some guy jumped on it, and kicked me in the head, knocking me out cold! it hurt a lot, but luckily i didn't get a concussion :) nothing like raves and head trauma...

Seeing if there is interest in this type of event...

2007-03-12T19:48:58Z

I'm thinking about bringing Melissa Murphey of Ishtar (Pittsburgh, PA) here to the greater Boston area on Saturday, June 30th to do a Middle Eastern music workshop and then a open musician and dance party after. Melissa has been organizing these music parties, what she calls "Jalsah" in NYC and Pittsburg to great success.

"Jalsah" is an original Middle Eastern music event that invites all musicians (regardless of instrument) and drummers to sit in and play Middle Eastern music for open floor dancing all night. This is a participatory community event designed to bring together dancers and musicians inspired by Middle Eastern music. Experienced....inexperienced...all are welcome!

In order to bring her and her band here, I would need at least 15 to 20 musicans and/or drummers to take a workshop with Melissa and or Carmine Guida in the afternoon and 50 or so dancers and musician/drummers to come to the party to make it feastable.

Would you be interested?
•Do you know melody players who would like to learn how to play some Middle Eastern songs?
•Do you know drummers that know the basic Middle Eastern rhythms but don't know how to play them in songs and would be interested in learning how?
•Do you know dancers that would like the opportunity to open dance to live Middle Eastern music in a safe, non-club environment?

Melissa and Carmine have scored sheet music and produced a CD of the songs that could be taught at the workshop and played that night at the music/dance party. (See below.)

Any suggestions/feedback would be most helpful,

Thanks in advance,

Here's some information from Mellisa:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A jalsah or qa'dah is an informal musical gathering. It is a derivative of the arabic word jalasa, which means "to sit". Typically an event reminiscent of the musical sessions of medieval courts, it is still a common medium through which middle-eastern composers, musicians and listeners (sammi'ah) gather to share their love of music.

Jalsah is an original Middle Eastern music event that invites all musicians (regardless of instrument) and drummers to sit in and play Middle Eastern music for open floor dancing all night. This is a participatory community event designed to bring together dancers and musicians inspired by Middle Eastern music. Experienced....inexperienced...all are welcome!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carmine Guida and Melissa Murphey have recorded an instructional CD that has 12 plain straightforward songs that will enable drummers or musicians to learn to play the traditional tunes.

This CD includes such classics as Layla, Misirlou, Shisheler, Fire Dance and Sulukule. There are no distracting vocals or excessive ornamentation here, just the plain songs for learning purposes. The MP3s are available for immediate download at www.dorku.com. they are only 1 dollar each!

All soundfiles are in the same key as the sheet music available at www.dorku.com.

In addition, GUITAR TABLATURE is now available for select Middle Eastern songs at www.dorku.com. Sheet music is available for key of C instruments, B flat instruments (trumpet, clarinet , soprano and tenor sax) and Bass clef instruments (cello, trombone, baritone)

Desperate Repost ... Foster home needed!!!

2007-02-15T03:00:36Z

Hi everyone!

I am reposting this in the hope that someone may be able to help me and my gorgeous dog Socrates out. It's a big one ... I am moving back to Australia from Boston and want desperately to take my baby with me. However, all the quarantine places in Australia are filled up for the next 5-6 months. Since I can only legally (well, legally-esque - i think i'm already over my visa limitations) stay in america for another month, I cannot wait with him. So, I am hoping to find someone out there who loves animals and is willing to foster Socrates during the time it takes to secure him a spot in quarantine.

He is a beautiful fox terrier/beagle mix, with a truly old soul and the heart of an angel. He LOVES humans, and would bring so much love and affection to you. He's nearly 5, in good health, and I would of course provide a much remuneration as I possibly could, incl his food/vet bills.

It's a big ask, I know, but I have to try and believe that there is someone out there who may be able to help me and my beloved get through this. I've had him for a year, and cannot imagine my life without him. If you are interested, or know anyone who may be, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know asap!

Hoping and loving,
Lauren and Socrates

2Nite (Thorsday) SpankMyGlitchUp @ Circle !!!

2007-01-11T21:24:14Z

"SMGU, at Circle? That's hot."
- Paris Hilton

OFFICIAL HYPE (as composed by the esteemed Professor Pious):

Tonight (Thursday) SpankMyGlitchUp will once again invade Circle for a night of phat beats and naughty treats. Anyone that has been to the previous SMGU events knows the debauchedness we have in store for the unsuspecting masses. For those that have never been or maybe had such a good time they just can't remember, here is just a taste of what we have in store for you.

DJs

9:30 - 10:00: Jeff Mission tests out the new subwoofer!!! That's right
Circle has a brand new sub and Mr. Mission is just the man to bring the
bass and test it out.

10:00 - 10:45: Leslie / Joed: Not the only tagteam that will happen this
night but definitely the loudest. Prepare for a double penetration of
aural pleasure from these notorious party motivators.

10:45 - 11:15: little miss norajean_:norajean experienced her first
underground party in 2000 - on her 18th birthday. from that point on
she's been pushing the Boston electronic music scene. as a producer of
events she's brought out madd acts like ltj bukem & mc conrad, dj krush,
knifehandchop, cylob, and many more.
she discovered computers as a means of making music_ and completed her
first mix album in the summer of 2002. norajean has been secretly
producing sounds ever since_ you may have caught some of them in the
Glitch and Glitch2 videos. This is going to be a dj set. - her first
ever - but if you listen close you might just catch some of her own
productions hidden deep within the mix.

11:15 - 11:45: Tiff: Maybe you've heard the ruffness a few weeks back
during our friend's farewell party. Maybe you caught the ruggedness on
NYE @ Redtail. This Woman brings the pain both on the decks and to your
derriere. Watch out for her slut paddle.

11:45 - 12:30: Pr. Pious: with a harddrive full of the newest and
hottest booty banging breaks prepare for some seriously sleazy dance
floor fillers.

12:30 - 1:00: Jeff Mission: The circle is complete when the man that
began the journey takes control and brings us in for a smooth landing.

Visuals:

...with liberally sprinkled bits of joedified filmic goodness, vee-jayed
in by Jeff Mission.

Chris Korda doing his thing as well, that's whorld and ffriend if you
don't know.

Sean Stevens does something cool too, though i'm not sure exactly what
that is, b/c his stuff is super-techy. :-)

oh yeah, and there are all kinds of birthdays happening. steve hoey
just had one, dan lavoie's actual birthday is thursday night, and i
think the caravan of leslie celebrations can stretch on for one more
night too!

So come out for a night of extra sensory stimulation and support your
friends art or wish them a happy b-day or just get a spanking from one
of the SMGU hotties and shake that ass.

Psytance and Dance

2006-11-15T23:56:42Z

My name is Jenny, and I am a senior anthropology/psychology student at Wesleyan University. Currently, I am doing research on psytrance and dance, and am hoping to generate discussion on Tribe, the best source I know of for tranceheads and DJs... Your answers to any or all of the following would help me out tremendously!

1) Why do you attend psytrance events?
2) Do these events propel you to dance? How?
3) Describe what you feel when you dance to psytrance.
4) Describe your manner of dance, physically.
5) Is the dancing social in nature? How do you interact with the dancing bodies around you?

Just a guide, but feel free to write whatever you'd like about the subject.

Namaste,
Jenny

Finally, following Psylab and closing the night, we're pleased to present HOLLOW vs. MANIPULATION, a collaborative experiment in full-on psytrance, presented from dueling laptops.

Need Housemates for Sept. 1

2006-04-17T23:26:43Z

I’m moving to the Cambridge area next school year to be with my girlfriend. I know it’s early, but we’re starting to look for housemates now because I’m still going to be in LA this summer, she’s going to be in India, and we’re not getting to Boston until after the burn!

While I miss her too much to stay here, I’m pretty sad about leaving California for the northeast. We’d like to share a big house with other fun people, and we think a tribe house would make leaving Cali a lot easier! So we’re looking for other fun/liberal/creative types so we can search for a house together. Couples and singles are equally welcome, but we’re not looking to have a weird couple-y house, so no co-dependent types.

She’s studying international development at Harvard, and I’ll be looking for new work. We like music of all kinds, a kickin dance party, interesting conversation, yoga, a good movie, no cable, a nice mushroom trip, and a community of fun, interesting folks of all stripes. It should go without saying that everyone in the house should know how to clean up after themselves, without being a nazi, and respect everyone’s space, bed time, stuff, etc…

I’m taking care of this first step from LA because she’s in grad school and I have WAY more time. I’ll put together a list of people and she’ll be in contact with those people to meet.

Phantomime Productions

2006-04-03T04:12:30Z

This summer I will be touring as the Phantomime with a mobile performance stage complete with rigging, a portable stage, lighting installation and as well an Egyptian tent and alter installation honoring Baste. I am inviting performers and lighting people to join me at different venues to use the stage, and add to out lighting effects. In addition to performing and teaching I am hoping to meet up with various Gypsies and to exchange knowledge. I’ll be all over the place so let me know where your going to be and we’ll see what can happen. Oh yeah. I’ll also be selling a promoting the release of a new line of fire toys from Wicked Good Fire Toys

Showbelisk

. The lighting systems consist of 6- 7ft Obelisks, which house different projectors, fog machines and lighting effects. The Showbelisk when pointed inward towards each other produce a magnificent light show. Each Showbelisk has e a black lacquer and ornamental finish that makes the installation stand on it’s own during the day. The instillation will be be self-powered where necessary. It’s like a psychadelic Stone circle.

The stage is designed for Fire performances, but can function well for small theatre/dance/music acts. The area of the stage is 8X24 and sits seven feet off the ground and is rigged with fireproof materials and extinguishers, projection screens, sound and a generator.

Temple of Baste/Healing and recovery station. The temple of Baste is a large open sun tent with Egyptian murals painted on its sides. A special wind resistant fabric allows for air to pass through but little sun. This allows the enclosure to remain comfortable in high temperatures
The alter bares a large bronze Cat and a series of talismans and mirrors; the tent will house a series ointments and a foot cleansing station for the conjured and weary. Priests and priestesses will, at times, be on hand to care and wash feet without charge. The tent offers space for body workers to set up as long as there is no monetary exchange.

In addition to the installations, I will be offering a couple of seminars: to be posted

Here is a list of my destinations planned thus far:

Playa Del Fuego- Del June 26th-27th
Wild Fire CT June 8th-11th
Fire Fly Festival VT June 30th-july 3rd
Spirit Fire??? Ma July 5-9

Devour as a crunchy, crispy breakfast treat or a midnight energy snack to blast you through the stars! Long delay lines and psychedelic reverbs make this a smooth, silky flight through the realms of space and timelessness…

At a pumping 136-142 bpm ‘Flaxible’ is a dynamic journey into lush, thick atmospheres and uplifting, harmonious mind states. Stomp love into the Earth and spiral through hyperspace!

Copal @ The Middle East upstairs - Thursday

2006-02-08T06:17:36Z

Hello Everyone,
We wanted to remind everyone that Copal will be playing at the middle east upstairs this Thursday, Feb 9th as part of the Emergenza competition.

*Copal* (pronounced co-pall) is:

Ammon EP: Sonic Beating/SoulTrance Productions
(Beats and synthesis)

Hannah Thiem
(Violin)

Joe Ball
(Cello)

The group's focus is a merging of classical and contemporary styles encompassing Eastern European, Spanish gypsy, Hip-Hop, and Trance.

Doors open at 9pm, we're scheduled to go on at 11pm.

We are also very excited to announce the launch of the Copal website (www.copalmusic.com)

The primary function of the site right now is to facilitate ticket sales for the show on Thursday.

Here's the break down:
If you buy a ticket from us in person or through the website it will only cost you $10.

If you buy a ticket at the door the evening of the show
it will cost you $25

So, it's in your best interest to buy a ticket ahead of time!

About the evening:

The Emergenza is a yearly competition run by the music
label of the same name. Advancement in the
competition is accomplished through audience
participation. 8 bands play every night. Each band
plays for 20 minutes. The Audience votes for the
bands they like the best by a show of hands. The band
with the most votes goes on to the next round.

For more info check out emergenza.net

See you on the dance floor.

Ammon EP:)

Psyforia - Feb 17th

2006-02-04T19:37:54Z

After a hugely successful 3 year anniversary show we're keeping the momentum going with another evening uncompromising auditory excellence with:

ERIC SPACESHIP (SONIC BEATING) BOSTON
Freshly back from a scuba-diving adventure in
Honduras, Eric brings his funk-driven, rump-shakin'
style back to the icy waters of Boston. Sun-tanned and
recently graduated from Boston's prestigious Berklee
College of Music, Eric is ready to drop sub 60Hz
bass lines that will match the sub zero temperatures of
America's finest city.

DEX (BEATFORGE PRODUCTIONS) NASHUA, NH
One of the finer young DJs in the Northeast, Dex has
experienced a major breakthrough in talent and
capabilities over the course of this past year. Aside
from being one of the most enthusiastic and upbeat
party-goers around, Dex is now establishing himself as
one of the area's most outstanding DJs.

GREENMAN (GNOMEFATTY) WESTERN, MA www.nudio.net
With an established resume, his own production crew,
and a tremendous sound-rental company; Greenman is far
and away the most versatile and sought after DJ west
of 495. Whether he be playing morning progressive or
his signature dark-psy, Greenman always knows what the
crowd wants and when to drop it. Be prepared for
another mind-blowing closing set!

2006-01-22T01:44:00Z

Alright people, the 3 year anniversary show is next weekend! Be sure to plan accordingly.

To mark the occasion we will be starting the evening off with a very special performance by the Circle Drummers and Boston Hoop Troop.

The Drumming+Hooping action will occur between 9:30 and 10:30, so be sure to arrive early so as not to miss your opportunity to be a part of this very special performance.

Of course it wouldn't be a Psyforia without stellar DJ Talent, and This month is no exception. Prepare yourselves for a night of floor filling Psychedelic Funk with-

BINARY (SONIC BEATING) BOSTON
The life-blood of Changmian/Sonic Beating Productions
- Binary has taken the crew to higher and
higher levels over the last three years. Mastermind
behind "the sound pump," a DJ of immeasurable skill
and one of the most dedicated and motivated
individuals in all of Boston, Binary's importance and
drive cannot be measured through any human medium.
Impeccable leadership, intelligence, and work ethic
are merely the tip of the iceburg when attempting to sum up this
man of unspeakable depth.

AMMON EP (SONIC BEATING) BOSTON
Fashion Shows, Weddings, Roller Arenas, Legion Halls -
is there any venue or type of event that Ammon
has NOT played? Co-founder of Sonic Beating
Productions and founder of Soul Trance Records,
Ammon's vitality, sense of the aesthetic, and radical
individuality set examples for all to follow. With a
successful DJ and art career already established, Ammon has since
branched out to add musical production and
pole-dancing to his already impressive resume. It is an HONOR to
welcome he and Binary to perform tonight in their own
collective backyard!

Whorld 1.0: free VJ software from Chris Korda

2006-01-20T17:22:50Z

This software was most recently seen at LOG, and before that at the Halloween Circle. It's now officially released (see blurb below) and available for download. Enjoy!
-ck

Whorld is a free, open-source Windows program that offers a unique approach to creating live digital art. Whorld generates real-time animation, but unlike most visualizers, it's designed for performing, and includes MIDI support and other features more commonly found in clip-based VJ programs. Whorld animates sacred geometry, and distorts it according to parameters that can be adjusted manually, or automated via programmable oscillators. The result is a mesmerizing, psychedelic composition of continuously transforming shapes. For details, sample movies, and to download Whorld, visit http://whorld.org
