6th Annual (recurring) DREAMS!!!

6th Annual (recurring) DREAMS in Arcata!!!

BPBS Arts + Media Presents: 

The 6th Annual Production of (Recurring) DREAMS

Friday, June 10th
  8pm, sharp!

@ The Sanctuary
1301 J Street
Arcata

As in years past, we will project Akira Kurosawa's 1990 film DREAMS onto a large movie screen.  The film is divided into 8 short sequences (each segment is around 15 minutes long,) with each scene scored in real time by a different musical act (the movie is subtitled, so the audience can still follow the plot.)  Musicians perform from behind a screen, out of sight (similar to an orchestra pit,) which adds to the mystery and suspension of disbelief!


Dream 1...  Sunshine Through the Rain 
performed by:  Datura Blues  (Arcata/Portland)
“The alchemy of Portland experimental psych ensemble Datura Blues is loaded with disparate sonic bases that meld together Eastern European jazz, bits of improvisational noise, transitioning instrumental post-rock, psychedelic rock freakouts, and haunting ambient textures..."

Dream 2...  The Peach Orchard 
performed by:  Elektro-Kraken  (Portland)
"Bass, drums, guitars, and saxophones make up the primary colors of a nuclear mess somewhere between colorful chaos and primitive bliss..."

Dream 3...  The Blizzard 
performed by:  Beat Totem  (Portland)
"The music of Beat Totem includes everything from Garage Rock, early punk, Psychedelic Soul, and Go-Go Swing, Jazz and Folk Rock. The sound is eclectic and inspired drawing from a combination of years of musical experience and a tribal vibe..."
