Dronesmuir II will consist of three drone musicians at the rustic Wheelhouse restaurant on Saturday, October 19, 2019. Drone music will be performed by three artists on the Silent label: Jack Hertz (San Francisco)—small hand-percussion and acoustic instruments processed via synthesizer, Stuart McLeod (Portland)—hydrophone, brainwaves, waterphone & digital processing, Mark Schlipper (Seattle)—guitar and effects. Stuart McLeod’s performance will make use of a hydrophone (underwater microphone) dropped into the underground rivulet below the restaurant. The signal from the hydrophone combined with the waterphone will be processed digitally and controlled by the artist’s brainwaves. Jack Hertz promises to enthrall the audience with realtime processing via synthesizers of small handmade instruments. Mark Schlipper plays guitar in the Seattle drone doom band The Luna Moth and will perform a solo guitar drone set.
It’s a safe-space, all-ages event to which everyone is welcome.
Events are expensive to produce, so we are reaching out to you, our friends, family and community, to help us reach our goal of $3500 dollars that will be used for to pay for artists’ fees, lodging, meals, transportation, promotions, printing, administration, etc. We believe in a model where artists are paid for their work, and are treated with respect. In order to meet this goal, we are asking for sponsorships from businesses and individuals who believe in and support the arts. Any money raised beyond our actual costs will be put towards future events.
By donating to Silent, you'll be supporting artists being guaranteed a fee, as opposed to a percentage of admission. We ask that you will consider making a tax-deductible donation in the amount of $20-$100 (no amount too big or small) to help us produce this event. Your donation will be recognized at our event in several ways. As a business sponsor, on request your logo will be placed on all materials and banners that publicize the event as well as announced verbally at the event itself. Rewards such as T-shirts and CDs are available too! Anyone who contributes is invited to join us at the show. (Dunsmuir is a beautiful place to visit!)

From Here to Tranquility: The Renaissance. Ambient compilation volume 6.
Silent Records celebrated its 30th anniversary with a very special release: a limited edition, two-disc compilation containing 16 new tracks by the ambient artists whose music helped define the label in the 90's.
This compilation of light and dark ambient music will undoubtedly pull new listeners into the ambient fold while quenching the thirst of die-hard fans who have waited patiently since 1998 for new material from the label.

Each of the two discs is focused on an atmosphere: one is comprised of light ambient chill room music great for driving, commuting or walking your dog in the park; the other contains dark atmospheres better suited for late night walks along a stormy coastline or late night highway driving. Either disc will provide tranquil, mesmerizing, mysterious sonic journeys from the label known for releasing music for your inner ear.
