  • The 5th anniversary of the Pan Ambient series and the Decibel Festival...what a better time to team up! The Pan Ambient Series celebrates five years of collaboration in music, food and art by joining forces with Seattle's Decibel Festival and returning to our Cascadian roots. After bringing together the finest artists that Tokyo, San Francisco, Atlanta and Vancouver have to offer in the downbeat dept, the bass scientists at Vancouver's Konspiracy Group have seen to put one fist in the air for the Cascadian revolution. Celebrate five years of change from the horizontal position with an afternoon of some of the Northwest's finest producers. Ambient's not dead, it's just chilling out and some of the worlds best is on your door step. Jonah Sharp aka Spacetime Continuum played an important role during the 90's in consolidating the global experimental ambient and techno scene through his Reflective Records imprint as well as releasing a string of solo studio albums on Astralwerks and Virgin Records . He has worked with many artists including a live album with writer and philosopher Terence McKennna, and collaborations with Mixmaster Morris, Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra, Pete Namlook, Ursula Rucker, Move D, Tetsu Inoue and Bill Laswell to name but a few.
