A collaboration from John MacLean (The Juan MacLean) and Greg Droggitis (Gee Dee) that wields the power of sound as a ritualistic, ceremonial and healing device. Having begun as a psychedelic dance ceremony, the project is an intentional, curated experience that combines meditation, movement, and sound. A love letter to the earth, Infinity Machine creates ambient shamanic folk music combining natural instrumentation with synth-derived sounds. MacLean and Droggitis make use of analog, natural, vibrational and electronic instrumentation, from bowls, gongs, shruti boxes, singing, and bells to synth-derived textures. The soulful lull of a flute, the timelessness of piano, the soft beat of hand drum, the droning whirr of synth — Infinity Machine uses a range of tools to conjure a space dedicated to communal journeys. Moreover, the energy of the group space informs the musical direction. Infinity Machine is not simply a collaboration between two seasoned artists; it’s a collaboration between musician, listener, and physical/non-physical spaces for an inward journey without destination. Infinity Machine recently released three full length cassettes of their studio recordings on DFA Records. This event features immersive visuals and choreographed dance by Sandra Portal-Abreu. Infinity Machine is a marquee Bandshell Laboratories program, produced by Rhythm Foundation with support from the CreARTE Grant from The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at The Miami Foundation. Bring your yoga mat and follow along with the meditation.
