ambient/etc 006 - Vietnamese ambient & experimental - ephemeral objects

My set for the renegade Garden Stage at Pachena Bay Music Festival 2024 is a downtempo mix that spans from deep ambient, astral jazz, to some experimental, downtempo breaks and beats. I love every track I played, each having its own beautiful sonic journey.

This was such a magical venue and location to perform with the most wonderful people. Thank you to the Huu-ay-aht First Nations, organizers, volunteers, and performers who made this festival possible. The microphone was accidentally left on and I love how faint sprinkles of laughter weave in and out of the set.
