The first event of Basilica Hudson’s fifth season is the 24-Hour Drone: Experiments in Sound and Music, an adventurous collaboration with the Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht, Netherlands. An immersive event and all-encompassing experience, 24-Hour Drone features musicians from the region and beyond experimenting in electronic, psychedelic, classical, non-western and instrumental drone music for a full 24 hours of low-frequency fun, set in-the-round in Basilica’s Main Hall. The drone will start at 3pm this Saturday and end … well, 24 hours later.
The following weekend, the Basilica will be filled with the scent of ramps - a wild onion – as chefs gather to present 2015 Ramp Fest.
Two very different events in one very cool space. Here to help us sort it all out are Melissa Auf der Maur, Basilica Hudson Co-Creative Director; John Rosenthal, 24 hour drone event musician and manager of Second Ward Foundation; and Jeff Gimmel, Ramp Fest organizer and James Beard nominated chef from Swoon Kitchenbar.
