DETAILS (there are MANY participants):
MAIN EVENT (NIGHT):
• Royal Peasantry will unveil a stunning take on the typical fashion show: each model will step out wearing only briefs, then be outfitted and styled live in front of the audience.
• Live painters will depart from the flat canvas – it’s a surprise! –> Josh Spiceland, Makasi Siriwayo, Andy Reed, and Cae-sar Weasel.
• Nine Bar Creative will have three graphic designers working as a team to demonstrate work flow and the creative pro-cess, along with Graham Jackson (88DC) – their screens will be projected live for all to see.
• All live creations will be based on the theme “Synthesis” and three inspiration words selected by design curator Craig McAnsh (of Mojo Coworking / NATiVE Marketing).
• Music performances by Jeremy Ellis! (http://bit.ly/oXbK7Y), Aligning Minds, Marley Carroll, Panther God, and ilmli.

DAYTIME:
• A panel discussion between music and design professionals will tackle the topic of “Synthesis,” not only as it relates to sound, but also the meaning of the word itself, which is “the combining of separate elements to form a coherent whole.” –> Lei Han, Jude Weinberg, August Worley, Craig McAnsh, David London, and Jeremy Ellis.
• Daytime music workshops, including the Moog Minitaur, QuNexus, Ableton Push, and Make Noise Music, will crescendo with a very special live beat lab performance by Jeremy Ellis and Justin Aswell (Mr. Invisible). This will be the first time these two masters of the Maschine (by Native Instruments) have ever been in the same place at the same time! –> Jere-my Ellis: http://bit.ly/oXbK7Y / Justin Aswell: http://bit.ly/16ivfap
