High Park was turned into a bustling ambient wonderland yesterday; the hillside was overflowing with people out to celebrate the blossoming cherry trees and the return of spring. Another great event from Promise!

As always, more can be found on my Flickr photostream.

Inside The Seed

I captured this photo on Friday night at Entheos 2008. If you look closely you can discern Briden and Heidrogen amidst the glow behind the decks. News of this year’s gathering will be released soon…

Synops Effect is a Russian deco crew based in Moscow specializing in elaborate multi-dimensional string art and mirror installations. Have a look at some of their work:

Eclipse 2008 was a tremendous success! The Tech Safari crew exhibited an unparallelled level of organization with the “solar edition” of Canada’s most well-established psytrance festival. This year the event returned to the Bonnet Rouge, a gorgeous campsite on the shore of the river Gatineau in the Outaouais region of Quebec. Musical highlights included Simon Posford’s performances as Shpongle and Hallucinogen, Vibrasphere, D-Nox on Sunday afternoon, Ekoplex on Friday night, Tapwatr, DJ Seb, Rikam vs Yann on Monday morning, Pheek, DJ Solar, the “furious percussion duo” of Blandilo, and the Indian dub fusion of The Dreamtree Project. As in previous years, the sound system was world-class: extremely powerful yet crystal clear. Altogether it was an excellent festival experience.
