Dear Friends of IDSpiral - new ones and old ones alike

the clocks have turned and with that a steady reminder comes that its nearly festival time again. Phew - the winter does go quick when you are keeping busy. We have been somewhat slow on the communication front as of late but we do of course hope you are all keeping well. Its not always easy in this confusing times of global warming, global economic wars and global value depression isn't it - but then it also seems that 'darkness' generates a truly powerful spark of 'light' - and its an amazing feeling to be part of this wave - where ever it takes us...
In a world in which so many of us are taken over by fears it is a real honor to be in the business of creative evolution, of soul searching and spiritual growth facilitation (sounds a lot better than party culture doesn't it...)
So we keep doing what we are best at: the creation of magical environments to allow you to go on mind and spirit stimulating, meaningful internal and external journeys.

In this email we want to tell you about:

• The next Synergy Project event - this Friday!!!
• The Summer ahead with Sunrise, Glastonbury, Glade and Shambala being our main festivals
• The growing online music shop
  

So - let's start with Synergy:

Friday the 30th at the SEOne - London Bridge - UK



we don't really want to tell you about the whole event cause we are sure you know how amazing it is - that's what we have hyperlinks for. click below if you want to find out about:

the full lineup
images from the last event
NGOs
how to buy tickets now - presales are limited and are going quick
where to find us
the smoking policy

most importantly we want to tell you a little about the amazing artist that we have the pleasure to be working with this coming Friday

we will be opening the room with
Gandolfi - an all time IDSpiral regular - weaving a delicate and gentle sonic texture to prepare us for the richness to come.

At 11.45 we welcome Raychel Stone - a talented singer songwriter from Brighton (vocals, guitar and cello). With a velvety textured voice she is set to hold the space spell bound

12.15 we are handing over to our dear friend Lycidia - the radio of love - poetry from the 4th chacra.

12.30 we go straight into a 5 piece performance - the journey between - involving dance, visuals, film, installation, flute, didge and custom made electronica - stay tuned for this one...

12.45 we give the mic over to Hard Rain - an on stage photographic presentation about some of the most pressing global issues we are currently facing: poverty, environmental destruction, war - to name just a few. This is a piece set to raise a lot of emotion, and we have given this some thorough thought. But we feel that an awareness of the reality surrounding us can be as much 'depressing' as beautiful. we want to inspire you to dance and cherish all of what matters - not ignore the pain but embrace it... we hope his ain't too hippy for you. let's give it a try...?

Lifting our spirits will be Phutureprimitive at 1.25 - 90 minute of guaranteed ambient bliss!
And here is a little plug - you can buy his amazing CD on our website:

Dancing the Invisible is next - one of the performance highlights of the night:
A scientist, a visual installation artist and spiritual explorer and a talented dance performer - join forces to bridge the gap between science and art: equipped with an EEG monitor, a brain interface, a computer, cameras, projectors, sound and truly touching dance... Cutting edge stuff!
Following at 2.45 we have invited IAwake from Sweden - presenting his pre-release debut live performance. Coming out on Ultimae in September his new album truly took us by surprise and we suggest that if you like progressive downbeat electronic ambient - get there and check it out!
3.45 - Mirror System - what can we say other than what an honor to have the masters of electronica pay tribute to our IDSpiral vibe - hillage tunes, system 7 beats & giraudy grooves.
And last but not least - Krister Linder - an amazingly tallented singer - who also performs with IAwake - will showcase his solo project - 45 minutes of vocal bliss!
Finishing of in true IDSpiral style will be Mudra - the seamstress of seamless sonic soul textures - closing the circle with her special touch. we expect all true dancers to gather...

So - we would hyperlink all of these amazing artists for you - but time is precious and you can go to the Synergy Website and do it all by yourselves - go on!

so that's Synergy - if we haven't mentioned it already - its best to get tickets now - as we are looking at a busy night yet again! Click here to do it now

so next on our menu for you is the Summer ahead

we have a busy schedule in the making and are busy booking artists, making deco etc etc...

today we want to tell you about the Sunrise Gathering in particular - why? Because it truly deserves it!
It aspires to be the UK's most sustainable festival and knowing the organizers and the team behind it we can tell you this festival is set to take over where the Spirit of Glastonbury sold out to the fat cats.
There are tons of workshops, stages, performances, great organic cafes, installations, healing spaces, art work you name it - its all there!

We have the pleasure of hosting the sonic chill - check out the fascinating lineup we have created for you - put together by IDSpiral's Aliji
