Event Horizon pres. All My Friends Are Ghosts, Dimension Step, Dreamware
The Event Horizon concert series features Electronic, Avant Garde, and Experimental music along with the work of live video, laser and analog projection artists. The concerts are always free and open to all.
All My Friends Are Ghosts is the experimental electronic outlet of Philadelphia-based musician James McCrory. Moving away from the more beat-driven approach of earlier works, the project has shifted toward ambient soundscapes, improvisation, and textural experimentation. The current work explores repetition, decay, and the gradual transformation of sound through evolving loops and drones.

Dimension Step is the synth focused version of the Dorety Brothers. It is much about moods, atmospheres, some noise and melodies too, deriving our sounds from standard synths, modular analog synths, digital piano and electronic percussion. Ambient textures to synth leads and syncopation to arpeggiation, we tend to improvise within a loose framework of tempo, key, mode and time signature and occasionally absent time signature and tempo.

Collective influences relevant to electronic music come from the spacier moments found in prog giants like YES, ELP, Genesis, Pink Floyd and King Crimson as well as textures and moods from Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, Kraftwerk, Eno and even some jazz rock space jammers like Ozric Tentacles. Even more, we find we influence each other when we jam, that being a root of our creativity. When we find that space where we sync up, some of our best moments come from that.
Dreamware is the ambient music project of Todd Skinner, formerly based in Alexandria VA but recently moved to Pittsburgh PA . He is interested in creating atmospheric soundscapes that are both intimate and melancholic, often incorporating organic elements such as his own field recordings and tape loops. Todd seeks to blend a number of styles and genres into his own music, including ambient, drone, Berlin School, noise, and occasionally even elements of techno and house music.
