As the winter peaks, and the winds blow crisp and heavy, we invite you to come shake off the chill, and find a warm place to rest with us. Returning in its fourth year, Dream Pool once again comes to fill Kremwerk with lush tones, burrowing through ambient, jazz, soft pop, modular synth, and much, much more. We at the Impact! Foundation invite you to join us, and share a gentle warmth beyond the long dark outside. The soundscape for the night will be brought to you by these amazing artists:
The cavernous and beautiful project of renowned DJ and Further Records headmaster Chloe Harris, Raica walks a fine musical line between lucid animation and blurred darkness.
THC.XLR is a synthesis of the natural and electronic world. With Madi Levine (IVVY) on drum set, percussion, and atmospheres Erik Sanchez (Richie Dagger’s Crime) on guitar, synth/sampler, and Rob Hanlon (Sketch Artist) on saxophone, EWI, synth’s ,and live dub mixing. Take a deep hit, and expect flavors of spiritual jazz, new age, drone, ambient/experimental and Dub.
Seattle based musical artist, Leandrul, will blow your socks off with her all original, indie electronic pop set, specially fashioned for this Dream Pool event. She uses live looping tools (via her Launchpad and computer) to arrange and layer each instrument she plays in her live rig–including voice, guitar, keyboard, drum machine, and cello–to express the dynamic heaviness of living in our current world. Heart speed.
A Seattle local, Juno T. Beloved will be performing on her machines, combining synthesis and vocal/instrumental elements however she sees fit.
Returning from his tenure at Dream Pool V as Arlen Hague, and Normal For Girls x Impact as KLSLWSK, Kyle Slawski crafts improvisational computer music drenched in sincerity, and tinged by his roots as an early nightcore producer with Manicure Records. With a bevy of synthesizers and laptop in toe, Slawski brings delicate tones to wash you away.
Taking inspiration from the new age movement and botanica, Places To Be employs analog synthesizers, samplers, and live instrumentation to build lush tones that you can drift away into. With her mix of field recordings and improvisation, she crafts simply as her name suggests: a place to be, soft and safe.
