X Avant XVI: Process

Concert in X Avant XVI Series

Day three of X Avant – Process – is dedicated to the global thread of sustained tone as a healing modality by way of an 8-hour performance devoted to droooooooooooone. Now that we have heard voices and experiences, stories, and calls to action, we must reflect and heal. Though the festival began with a dive into discomfort focusing on artists and attendees speaking taxing truths, we will present a full day (2-10PM) dedicated to sonic washing: a critical component to the advancement of humanity. Drone day will feature 16 artists over 8 hours, combined with visuals, surround sound and spaces to lay down.
