Belated appreciation post for last week’s gig with the legend @laraaji_official at @themacbelfast . Bucket list stuff, really. Huge thanks to @movingonmusic for getting me involved and to everyone who turned out. It was a special one! Here’s me presenting the main man with a little painting by #1 fan Petra @suneyessong ❤️ Unfortunately didn’t get much footage, but thanks to @crisp_the_night for the clip 🙏 🙏🙏 Bonus - testing out new mics in the fog at Malin Head over the weekend 😶‍🌫️

Next Thursday, we cannot wait to welcome ambient/new-age pioneer, laughter meditation guru, and true cosmic visionary @laraaji_official to @themacbelfast as part of @cathedralquarterartsfest . We’ve been getting ourselves in the mood by watching his truly out-there 80s cable access show “Celestrana”. Check YouTube for the full shows. Really hoping his cosmic puppet frog friend Dr. Love is planning on making the trip too 🐸 Famously “discovered’ by Brian Eno from playing on the streets of New York (Eno then producing his 1980 album Day of Radiance as part of his Ambient series) Laraaji has been releasing music and performing concerts of the highest celestial vibrations for over six decades! In our eyes, this concert is unmissable! 🧡 Support comes from local ambient/electronic master - Deathbed Convert @con_defcon 🌊 The MAC Thurs 30th April Doors 7.45pm / Music starts 8pm Link in bio!

Happy to add Deathbed Convert @con_defcon to the bill for our concert with legendary ambient musician @laraaji_official .

Available now in the digital sphere and for pre-order on Compact Disc - shipping in about 2 weeks. Link in bio to listen/buy ✌️💿🌊 We fully encourage you to take a break from this screen for 56mins and 22 secs and sink into ‘Music For Wave States’ All proceeds to Action Mental Health _______ ‘Music for Wave States’ grew out of experiments with binaural beats and healing tones conducted while developing material for a sound therapy app. It features field recordings captured in Belfast, Donegal, Clare, Wexford and the Czech Republic. The vibe is transportive and deliberately escapist. These are soundscapes to sink and dissolve into. Mini worlds of respite. Spacious, minimal arrangements, evolving at an easy pace. Everything’s a bit fuzzy, the corners all rounded off. Kind of like looking out the window, dozing, on a long train ride through unfamiliar country, scenery whizzing by. So, disable notifications and delete all your apps. Why not switch the damn thing off? Sit down. Relax. Take your time. Sleep, if you want. Sink into stillness and enjoy the peace. For maximum effect, please listen to ‘Music for Wave States’ through headphones.

Looking forward to supporting @infinityknives & Brian Ennals tomorrow night at the Black Box! 🎉🔥 Gonna be busting out loads of new beats & getting the vibes going with a psychedelia-soaked hiphop set, bass/breaks/samples ahoy. On at 8.30pm!
