About our Musical guests:
Ambient Awakenings
The Ambient Awakenings night has existed in Portland for a few stretches over the last four years. It has hosted a monthly showcase of local NW acts at the wine bar since this summer. The lineup builds from an ambient drift early in the eve to down/mid-tempo beats later night. This month brings sounds on a darker tip to accompany the art.
We start out with a series of short, live ambient sets from Devon, Panegyric Delay, and Show & Tell. Straddling the transition from ambient gltich to downbeat is Ben Milstein, better known for his up tempo releases on Andrea Parker's Touchin' Bass. DJ Waatermark wraps it IDM/glitch style.
David Rolin
David Rolin is veteran percussionist. Rolin’s fifty years of experience has created a wellspring of influences and musical nuances that have shaped his unique style. His arrival to the Portland music community 20 years ago marked the beginning of his hard-hitting tribal rock sound. He draws heavily from afro-funk influences which result in a greasy, voodoo sound that you can cut with a knife. Rolin was one of Gypsy Caravan’s original members and has gone on to play with diverse musical acts such as Sumo, The Rotating Leslies, Munkitung, Full Brazil, and Dhomba, to name but a few. He has played countless local venues from Satyricon to “The Schnitz”. His choice of visceral ethnic beats experienced with a decided urban attitude create a rhythmic foundation for any setting. His music has been described as consistently stimulating, evocative, and decisively original.
