Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

The hypnotic momentum of the night passes to the hands of DJ Three as light begins to fill sky and the new day creeps ever closer.  For forty breathless minutes we wait… until at last the sun breaks over the horizon, and a collage of verbal musings, psychedelia and ornate music fills the air.  Toying with echoes and teasing with nuance, shutters fluttering to capture the fleeting moment…a moment not soon forgotten for those who were lucky enough to be there, at sunrise on Sunday, Black Rock City, Burning Man, 2014.   And then, just as easily as we are led into that place, a whole movement of sound and energy returns the dance floor.

DJ Three - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

Following our good friend Lee Burridge past the sunset and well into the day as sandstorms whipped past us in the background we stood amongst friends and strangers (who are just friends we’ve yet to meet) and we danced and celebrated together, participating in the beauty of a shared moment that can only be held in our memories as a mere shadow of what we truly experienced… What an honor to be part of it all. A big thank you to everyone who helped make that moment happen.

Thugfucker - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

This was my first ever Burning Man experience. I am in fact still trying to find the right words to describe my experience there. 
Moreover the Robot Heart performance. But sometimes music really shouldn't be described with words. At least in my position being an artist & composer. 
So thank you that this magical journey of mine was recorded!
It was quite something to be on top of that bus as the burners rode in on their bikes. And when the bus took off watching everyone jump right back on their bikes and follow the bus in what I can only call a ‘mass exodus’ onto the playa. I decided to dig deep into my old productions and new and some of my favourite journey tracks for this mix.
Thank you, big hug and love to all who joined in and danced along, and to Camp David, Robot Heart & Jonny for getting me involved.
I hope to be a part of this again. Either way, I’ll See you again next year for sure!
 
-Volta.

Tuesday night, Burning Man, 2014. 1AM. Starting at 10 and L and ending up somewhere in deep Playa. Being the so called "captain of the bus", driving into the middle of nowhere with an endless tail of flickering lights behind me, was an experience I will never, ever, forget.

Job Jobse - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

It's Tuesday night, we enter Burning Man a day late due to the rain. It's my first burn, and Sarah my girlfriend, it's her third. With little time to settle at our camp, we can't set up our newly purchased bikes. So we venture out in search of Robot Heart by foot. Arriving onto the playa for the first time at night is incredibly intense, the place is so vast. The lights, sounds and atmosphere is other worldly. It's distracting, let alone the fact we need to somehow find Robot Heart by foot in amongst all of this brilliant and mesmerising noise. We start walking in any direction, Sarah being an experienced burner knew full well the bus could be out deep in the desert far away. We ask people if they have seen it. Mixed answers get us nowhere. Scanning the horizon for anything that resembles a heart. So many things look similar. Somehow my eyesight pays off and the saving grace was the giant Robot held up high. Finally arriving and panic over we run straight into Phillipp from M.A.N.D.Y. With some time to spare before I play he asks us if we want to go for a quick cruise around to explore. With the obvious lack of our bikes he purposefully and very quickly introduces us to Benjamin and the crew from Robot Heart, who throw us both on the bus immediately. To our surprise the bus suddenly starts driving away. Everyone follows. An amazing experience as we watch thousands of bikes, lights and art cars slowly following the bus. It was like the bus was leaking - spewing out these bikes, lights and art cars all over the desert floor, leaving this incredible trail behind itself.
A good 30 minutes pass, the bus and gathered crowd is settled and in its final place for the night. I begin to play - my first gig at Burning Man, my first time on Robot Heart, all on my first night at BM in this crazy desert. All brilliantly overwhelming. Even after everything though, I am completely relaxed. It's a setting and experience I'll never forget. Playing and looking out over everything down below. You could take a picture of what you see in front of you and look at all of the different things for hours. But this was real life and in motion, always changing, so much to take in. By far one of the most enjoyable moments of my life. Which was topped only by mine and Sarah's fun wedding ceremony we had later that week in front of the Temple. The picture is our first kiss as newly weds!

Thank you Robot Heart and Burning Man! I definitely hope I can return to the Bus and the playa every year now!

Tim Green - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

I am so lucky to be able to celebrate my birthday on the bus each year, and I get to share these moments with the people I love.

On this special day when I am supposed to get older, instead… I feel younger.  Whoever has been in a desert before knows what energy and pureness lives in it, and what you as a person can gain from it.

On the Playa there is the possibility to be who you really are, and to give what you really have. This could mean you or something that is important to you.

I decided not to take any pictures this year, to see the place through my eyes and not a camera.  And every moment and every breath, got inside my soul. I was really careful not waste any of it. 

I want to thank all the people who were there to make this day such a special one for me.

Thank you Robot Heart for having me again and supporting our music with all your hard work. 

PS : Thank you Benjamin for starting 'Happy Birthday' at the end of my set - Magic  <3

Love 
Francesca

Benjamin Alexander - Robot Heart - Burning Man 2014

Sunrise is my favorite way to describe the magic of Burning Man.

There are 365 sunrises each year, and most of us consider it a privilege to sleep through them. But during one week at Burning Man the attendance of sunrise is a must. In the desert, as a collective, we make things that are otherwise ordinary occurrences into sacred spectacles. We make costumes for the sunrise, we compose music for it, and we go through death-defying stunts to take incredible pictures of it. And so it goes with many things at Burning Man; things that we take for granted in the real world are treated differently on the playa. It is not just the rising of the sun that we elevate to mythical proportions, but human traits like kindness, patience, uncertainty and flexibility are also celebrated, tested and recharged in Black Rock City.

Through audio and video captures, these extraordinary treatments of ordinary things stand a chance to be implemented in the outside world, not just for those who were there, but also to people who never traveled to Burning Man, and who - through these captures - are reminded that certain basic things in life can hold more value if we so choose. With every unusually nice thing that someone did or said to us at Burning Man, with every unprovoked smile we received from strangers in its dust storms, we will be charged and challenged to pay that spirit forward the other 51 weeks of the year.  And every morning, the sun will faithfully show its face to remind us of this opportunity.  

So, the next time we need to set our alarm clocks because real life responsibilities demand us to be awake before dawn, let’s choose to be grateful for witnessing the sun peek over the horizon or through our concrete jungles, while most other people are sleeping through it, and let’s remember that we are ambassadors of that magical place that celebrates the beauty in ordinary things. 

Today is a good day to be awake!
