MIAMBIENT

I'd like to meet:

EARTHDANCE INTERNATIONAL & THE MIAMI STANDARD SPA HOTEL present MIAMBIENT, the international convergence of ambient, downtempo and visual music March 26th to March 30th 2008, concurrent with Miami's WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE (WMC)

---------------------------

Earthdance International and The Standard, Miami Beach Spa Hotel have joined forces once again to create Miambient 08, The International Convergence of Ambient, Downtempo and Visual Music, March 26th – 30th 2008, concurrent with Miami’s Winter Music Conference (WMC).

In contrast to the high energy and fast-paced environment of the WMC, Miambient will offer participants a rejuvenating oasis of music and inspiration, set amidst The Standard’s state-of-the-art spa facilities.

The conference will explore the many facets of the global ambient music scene from pure sonic landscapes to downtempo global grooves. It will feature an international line up of artists and DJ’s, with new-edge visuals created by some of the industry’s finest VJ’s.

Miambient will also highlight the growing global movement of “Visual Music” and will feature prominent international visual artists and VJ’s. All the ‘visualists’ will perform with the DJ’s and musicians for special “visionary art and music sessions”, where ambient music unites with the spoken word and visuals. Other highlights will include performance art and dance, spoken word, sacred acoustic music, holistic therapies, and delicious food provided by Lido, the Standard’s world-class organic restaurant.

Miambient will run 10 hours per day from 2:00 pm to midnight, and will be free of charge allowing participants to drop in anytime. Special events include an exclusive book signing with legendary DJ, Jesse Saunders, one of the originators of house music, a VIP “release” party celebrating Om Records new “Om: Chilled 2” compilation and a rare DJ appearance by Bill Kelly, co-founder of the WMC. Miambient has already been designated Official After-Hours Party by Remix Hotel.
Building on last year’s success, this groundbreaking event concept is already attracting great support from the international electronic music and VJ communities and the holistic and art communities of Miami. Join us at The Standard Miami Beach, 40 Island Ave, Miami Beach.
