◭ Captain's Log ◮
This is going to be a very special and unique lineup. With the collaboration between Pulsar and Terrakroma, one can expect a wide variety of different sounds, tied together by a smooth steady flow and seamless transitions from beginning to end. The first night and morning will feature a lineup more characteristic of Terrakroma, while the second night and morning will feature a lineup more characteristic of Pulsar. The entire lineup will be performing on one unified stage, in order to promote unified community interaction. It is our distinct hope that through this collaboration, dancers and listeners will be exposed to a wide array of different music styles, perhaps outside of their usual palette. At the same time dancers and listeners CAN and SHOULD expect a great deal of their favorite music - as they have come to expect at our gatherings!!! Come with an open mind, and leave happy!
The music flow will start Friday afternoon/evening with the sounds of AMBIENT, DOWNTEMPO, and DARK ELECTRONICA - perfect to ease us into the vibe of the gathering. Next, the lineup will shift toward the sounds of deep psychedelic TECHNO, TECH-HOUSE, and PROGRESSIVE HOUSE. This fusion will continue a smooth transition, from uplifting and mellower sounds, bringing us to the darker, heavier, and TECHIER sounds during the night. As we reach the twilight hours, our first headliner, SENSIENT, the founder of the legendary Zenon Records, coming all the way from Australia, will perform LIVE! He will take us on a journey through the sunrise, and into the day ahead with his label's signature and uniquely swampy sounding PROGRESSIVE PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE with heavy influences from TECHNO, and many other musical genres! With the beautiful sunshine in the sky above us, the energy will begin shifting toward more UPLIFTING MORNING PROGRESSIVE sounds, slowly rising in tempo through the sounds of PROGRESSIVE, FULL-ON, and MORNING PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE.
As the day moves along, the lineup will be filled with the sounds of MODERN PROGRESSIVE PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE. As we reach the later hours of the afternoon and early evening, the vibe will shift yet again into the sounds of PSYCHEDELIC BREAKBEAT and PSYCHEDELIC TECH-FUNK. This is a new and very unique genre that is quickly picking up steam in the UK. This music carries a deep psychedelic groove with heavy bass, and is heavily influenced by the sounds of Psychedelic Trance music. We are very happy to welcome two more headliners, PEAK and UNCONSCIOUS MINDS, two of today's leading PSYCHEDELIC BREAKBEAT/PSYCHEDELIC TECH-FUNK acts. As we reach the night hours, the music will shift yet again back to PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE, starting with some harder PROGRESSIVE PSYTRANCE, and quickly picking up tempo into the sounds of NIGHT PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE. As the hour draws later, the music will become increasingly TWISTED and PSYCHEDELIC. Reaching the end of the night, and the beginning of sunrise, the sound will shfit yet again toward more the more uplifting, groovy, and chunky vibes of MORNING and FULL-ON PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE. Mid morning, our final headliner will take the stage. We are proud to welcome RE:CREATION Live!, the founder of Psychoactive Records, UK. RE:CREATION is a unique project of HIGH-ENERGY, MORNING, PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE with heavy influences and fusions with PSYCHEDELIC BREAKBEAT. The sounds will stay hard, fast, and wild throughout this unique live set! As the hour draws later, and we approach the afternoon, the energy will stay high with the sounds of PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE being blasted straight till the end of the gathering!
We encourage you to arrive as early as 3pm Friday, and to stay late! There are hot springs in the area, so you may want to stay afterward to enjoy some relaxation!

---> Re:Creation is the live electronic music and visuals project of Adam Goodlet from Winchester, Britain (UK). The Re:Creation live set is a mind-expanding journey into the world of psychedelic music, heavily influenced by the quantum world, and research into consciousness. The project started after Adam attended Boom Festival in 2004. He had already been writing psychedelic hard dance and freeform music with live act 'Ephexis', but was totally inspired by the unity and creativity that can develop at psy festivals. H wanted to get more involved in the psychedelic community and to contribute his own perspective to the movement. Adam started developing his own interpretation of live psychedelic dance music, as well as creating visuals that are deeply integrated with the sound. The sound of Re:Creation can best be described as a high energy fusion of Psychedelic Trance and Psychedelic Breakbeat (PsyBreaks) with heavy influences from many other genres and abstract soundscapes. He is the founder and label manager of Psychoactive Records, a psychedelic dance music label based out of the UK. As a label, Psychoactive Records releases many different genres of psychedelic electronic dance music, encompassing several projects from Adam and fellow artists.

❧❦☼ Environmental Containment ☼❦❧
This is a LEAVE NO TRACE gathering. YOU MUST bring extra trash bags, and be extra sure to carry out ALL of the trash you bring. Even better, if you see any other trash that somehow missed the trash bag, pick it up and throw it away; even if it's not yours. Not only will you be doing us and the land owners a favor, but you will also be doing nature a great service! We will not have "public trash cans" on site, and instead encourage PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. This PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY carries over to how you treat others, including their property at the gathering. We are all one big harmonious family, and we owe it to ourselves to treat each other with the utmost mutual love, caring, and respect. Most of our gatherers have attended such gatherings in the past, and understand this fully. However, we do welcome new members of the family. All we ask is that you take social cues, and follow these guidelines.
You must pick up ALL of your trash (INCLUDING CIGARETTE BUTTS!!!). If you are a cigarette smoker, a personal ash tray (an altoids can works wonderfully!!!). We will be checking your car on the way in to make sure you have trash bags and a personal ash tray. Anybody caught littering and/or leaving trash around will be approached and may be asked to leave. We would like to prevent something like this from happening. So please, follow the rules and pick up your own trash. If you see any other trash around, pick that up too!!! This earth belongs to all of us, so let's keep it beautiful for generations to come!

⇝⇝⇝⇝"SUPERCOLLIDER is an environment and programming language originally released in 1996 by James McCartney for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. Since then it has been evolving into a system used and further developed by both scientists and artists working with sound. It is an efficient and expressive dynamic programming language providing a framework for acoustic research, algorithmic music, and interactive programming." - Wikipedia
⇝⇝⇝"A PULSAR (portmanteau of pulsating star) is a highly magnetized, rotating Neutron Star that emits a beam of Electromagnetic Radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth, much the way a lighthouse can only be seen when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer, and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission. Neutron Stars are very Dense, and have short, regular rotational periods. This produces a very precise interval, between pulses that range from roughly milliseconds to seconds for an individual pulsar.
The precise periods of pulsars makes them useful tools. Observations of a pulsar in a binary neutron star system were used to confirm the existence of Gravitational Radiation. The first Extrasolar Planets were discovered around a pulsar, PSR B1257+12. Certain types of pulsars rival Atomic Clocks in their accuracy in keeping time." - Wikipedia
