The Low Pass

Well, we tried to cook this up for May but it got so busy that we had to push it back to the beginning of June! But this one is a collaboration with @southfellini , and is outside at the fountain on Passyunk! Thanks to @eastpassyunk and @passyarc for helping to coordinate and allowing us to fill this space with some ambient music! If this is your first time hearing about the Ambient Open Mic, it’s an event we put on to create a low pressure environment for ambient and electronic musicians to play live and share their art with the community. You don’t need expensive gear to play! It is a welcoming space for everyone, whether it’s your first time playing out or you’re a veteran, or you just want to enjoy the live music. I know many of you have already reached out about playing the next open mic, we will be reaching back out to you all. As usual though, we will be prioritizing new performers. We also request that sets be on the more ambient side this time, as much as we like getting a little noisy, we want to be good neighbors here. If you are interested in playing the open mic, leave a comment or send a DM. Spots fill up quick! All instruments are welcome, max set time is 15 minutes. Bring your friends even if you’re not going to play!

No open mic in April but cooking up a special surprise for the May open mic if we can pull it off! Thanks again to @cartesianbrewing for hosting us last month, hope to be back soon! #ambient #ambientmusic #philly #phillydiymusic #openmic
