Episode 41 ~ A Tale of Two Music Fest Setups

Published: Sept. 22, 2016, 11:17 p.m.

Deathly cold open: Just found out the morning of the show that Jerry Jr., a Cameroonian friend I knew from the Comox Valley, had died, so I wanted to launch it off with a tribute... This is the week we previewed both Otalith Music Festival and Atmosphere Gathering -- two rapidly growing weekenders that have been making a name for Vancouver Island amongst two very different musical communities. [34:46] We start out by reconnecting with Mount Eliah (mteliah.com) who ended up sharing a plane seat with us on Episode 13 of the podcast (https://soundcloud.com/frequencyhorizon/episode-13-ferry-falters-podcast-in-the-sky-surf-echolocation). He gives us the ins-and-outs of the plans for the big top and beyond. [1:02:40] Sound guy Johnny Wafflez gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the frequency theory behind setting up for an electronic music-heavy festival like Atmosphere (https://www.atmospheregathering.com/). Plus, we talk about what's on the bill for indie/hip hop/surf rock music fest Otalith Music Festival (otalithfestival.com/) in Ucluelet, which we cover more in depth in the following episode.
