More details after the jump....
LONG -- The very first Bluebrain event happened 3 years ago here in DC when a call went out for people to bring cassette boomboxes to Dupont Circle. Inspired by composer Phil Kline, participants were each handed a different cassette tape, each containing a different track of a larger piece of music, composed specifically for the event. After a countdown, participants hit play together and walked around the city, creating a roving orchestra on dozens of portable speakers. The following year, the project was expanded to include musical contributions from other artists and was staged on the National Mall during the annual Cherry Blossom festival. Thanks to the US Botanic Gardens, we will be holding a third boombox walk -- this time, in the most beautiful indoor venue we can imagine. This will mark the end of the series.

Thank you to all those who've come to one, or to both boombox walks -- or any other Bluebrain events since we started this three years ago. Let's make this the biggest sounding one yet.

PLEASE RVSP to bluebrainmusic@gmail.com (and tell us what device you'll be bringing: cassette boombox, CD player or MP3) to reserve your track in the format of your chosing.
