ugh this seems like it’ll be an otherworldly experience - very sad it’s happening on the opposite side of the country :frowning:

looking forward to it @criminiminal! workshop details aren’t really published yet, but the only prereq is to get Tidal installed ahead of time, if you haven’t already. Glad to help if you need it!

What a line-up! A bit far for me to come all the way from the UK though. I saw a great installation he did here once though. It was in a series of underground tunnels rigged up with flickering lights and sine wave tones shifting around you. Pretty disorienting.
