Join us at Sacred Root Friday for an event of performances then at Southside Saturday for a unique workshop event for anyone interested in improvising with Ableton Live, routing MIDI, using triggers, turning basic sounding loops into evolving performances, and integrating your setup with DJs and producers.

The workshop is freely accessible to anyone, nobody will be turned away. Free youth access is available.

Friday July 8th: Sunken Cages, Jake and the Nowhere, Gravestone Glue, Bayfay at Sacred Root

Saturday July 9th: Ravish Momin – Electronic Music Production, Live Drumming and Beyond! at Southside Community Center

Sunken Cages is the moniker for Ravish Momin, an Indian-born drummer, electronic music producer and educator. For the past decade, Momin has been experimenting with enhancing his acoustic drum sounds with electronic ones, and has crafted a unique electro-acoustic approach. He triggers sounds and textures, layers live-loops and manipulates them ‘on the fly’, to blur the lines between composition and improvisation. While rooted in Indian folk and Black Music traditions, Sunken Cages is also influenced by the street sounds of South African G’com, Angolan Kuduro and Egyptian Mahraganat.

We are currently seeking allies to help us co-fund this community workshop, so that others can attend free of charge or on sliding scale. Allies can help either through ticket purchase or donation.

Tickets available now for Friday and Saturday (with combo options).
