Fresh Meat Festival 2024 Community Class: Into the Mystery

ABOUT THE “SOUND BATH” WORKSHOP

Merging the worlds of acoustic and electronic, spiritual and material. Blu Moon is offering a portal of rest, exploration, movement or play. An improvised channeling of sacred sounds and playful mystery. What can emerge when there’s space to explore and rest?

ABOUT B DUKES

Experimenting with sound originated from experiencing it initially as a source of ritual, of praise – a direct connect with God. It was the Black worship music in the deep South, the improvisational sounds of resistance, struggle, and love (aka Jazz) paired with the discovery of House music that has transformed the sounds of Blu Moon’s heart. Currently they oscillate between spinning and producing Afro diasporic electronic dance music with house at the center + exploratory trance inducing sound baths with their 7000COILS label mates, other Black queer musicians and solo. Conjuring – shifting – expanding – grooving.
