The Chilluminati Present

***Earthdance 2008***

September 12, 13, 14 // Black River Falls, Wi

http://www.chilluminati.org

//// Rain or Shine \\\\

The Chilluminati, in our 3rd year, present a 3 day open-air festival focusing on psychedelic music, art, and culture, all within the Earthdance concept. This is an official and registered Earthdance event.

Earthdance, the Global Dance Festival for Peace has grown to become the world's largest simultaneous music and dance event. Founded in 1996, with 22 cities and 18 countries participating, Earthdance has grown to over 300 locations in 60 countries participating in 2007, with locations ranging from the club-lands of New York to the rainforests of Brazil. Every year, in alignment with the International Day of Peace, over 200,000 people unite in dance with hundreds of thousands more joining online in support of global peace and humanitarian aims.

The defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up, (6pm Central Time) when every event around the world plays a specially produced song called "The Prayer for Peace" at exactly the same time.

Earthdance has been described by the music industry as the "Dance Aid" for the new millennium. The aim of the event is to bring together global communities to create a synchronized global festival and dance event to help fund humanitarian causes and develop an environment of peace throughout the global community.

Earthdance is a non-political event and is organized by Earthdance International, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.

The Chilluminati is guided by:
Psychedelic trance, chill and ambient are the music that we play. Music in itself is a transformative and psychedelic agent.
Our events are more than music. They are multidimensional, multifaceted trance, visual, art and kinetic performance events. They are experiences.
Our events are about transformation and becoming. Whatever your sense of spirituality is, you bring that to the gathering.
At our events everyone takes responsibility for the gathering, others and themselves.
Our events have an atmosphere and a vibe. The gathering is a field of energy that connects us. The gathering is a living being.
Our events are about expressing yourself, being creative, being an individual.
Our events are inclusive and open.
Our events are both local and planetary; cultural diverse, reflective of the American Midwest, yet global.
We respect local laws and customs.
Our gathering is a gift which we all (organizers, artists, musicians and attendees) give to each other. This is not about money, commercialization and exploitation. This is not a product this is a community.




// Global Theme & Initiative for 2008

Honoring the Earth - More information coming soon...


Every group associated with Earthdance must commit to giving at least 50% of their profits to a charitable organization. We are committed to this concept, and are in the process of selecting an organization. If you represent an organization that would like to be a part of what we are creating, please contact us.

And with that, we are pleased to bring you the lineup and details:



**Robert Rich** - Live PA - Soundscape Productions // Mountain View, CA

Across three decades and over 30 albums, Robert Rich has helped define the genres of ambient music, dark-ambient, tribal and trance, yet his music remains hard to categorize. Part of his unique sound comes from using home-made acoustic and electronic instruments, microtonal harmonies, computer-based signal processing, chaotic systems and feedback networks. Rich began building his own analog synthesizers in 1976, when he was 13 years old, and later studied for a year at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

Rich released his first album Sunyata in 1982. Most of his subsequent recordings came out in Europe until 1989, when Rich began a string of critically acclaimed releases for Fathom/Hearts of Space, including Rainforest (1989), Gaudí (1991), Propagation (1994) and Seven Veils (1998). His two collaborations with Steve Roach, Strata (1990) and Soma (1992), both charted for several months in Billboard. Other respected collaborations include Stalker (1995 with B. Lustmord), Fissures (1997 with Alio Die) and Outpost (2002 with Ian Boddy.) Rich’s contributions to multi-artist compilations have been collected on his solo albums A Troubled Resting Place (1996) and Below Zero (1998). His group, Amoeba, explored atmospheric songcraft on their CDs Watchful (1997) and Pivot (2000). Live albums such as Calling Down the Sky (2004) and 3-CD Humidity (2000) document the unique improvised flow of his performances.

Rich has performed in caves, cathedrals, planetaria, art galleries and concert halls throughout Europe and North America. His all-night Sleep Concerts, first performed in 1982, became legendary in the San Francisco area. In 1996 he revived his all-night concert format, playing Sleep Concerts for live and radio audiences across the U.S. during a three month tour. In 2001 Rich released the 7 hour DVD Somnium, a studio distillation of the Sleep Concert experience, possibly the longest continuous piece of music ever released at the time.

Rich has designed sounds for television and film scores, including the films Pitch Black, Crazy Beautiful, Behind Enemy Lines and others. His musical scores grace films by Yahia Mehamdi (Thank you for your Patience, 2003) and Daniel Colvin (Atlas Dei, 2007, with 90 minutes of Rich’s music in surround); and a video installation by Michael Somoroff (Illumination, 2007). Rich works closely with electronic instrument manufacturers, and his sound design has filled preset libraries of Emu’s Proteus 3 and Morpheus, Seer Systems’ Reality, sampling disks Things that Go Bump in the Night, ACID Loop Library Liquid Planet, WayOutWare’s TimewARP2600, and synths by Camel Audio. Rich has written software for composers who work in just intonation, and he helped develop the MIDI microtuning specification. As mastering engineer and mixer, he has applied his ear to albums in all styles, and his studio was featured twice in Keyboard Magazine, and elsewhere worldwide.

**The Great Mundane** - Psymbolic--sounds // Chicago

Shaped by a "Do It Yourself" culture, Jeffrey Acciaioli was driven by his love of music to create the moniker The Great Mundane at first to only satisfy himself. Born and raised in Farmington Hills, Michigan he was exposed and later influenced by genres such as classical, jazz, bossa nova, hip-hop, and electronica. His broad range of favorites and training allow us to enjoy his "one of a kind" sound that is anything but mundane. The Great Mundane's twisting textures, catchy drum whips, and unique soundscapes leave us with a melodic collage that is unlike anything we've heard before. The Great Mundane was first introduced into the Chicago music scene before taking his passion and energy nation wide. Soon international ears were falling upon his unique sounds and requesting his talents.

Our Vision

This is the second of two weekend-long camping festivals The Chilluminati will be creating in 2008. Both of our weekend festivals will be in western Wisconsin, close to the heart of the psychedelic tribes of that state and those of Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario, and Illinois.

The Native Americans of western Wisconsin built huge sacred earthworks that we now know as effigy mounds. These immense earthen symbols, carved into the earth, were symbols of the Divine. Just as they built their mounds, we create these parties as Cosmic Condensates; our Music, Dance, Light, and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time, a microcosmic celebration of the Infinite.

WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 3 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending, including alcohol for those 21+, in addition to a full service restaurant onsite.

YOU PROVIDE : a tent, enough food and beverages for the weekend (or some cash - food and beverages will be available for sale), NO GLASS, NO DRUGS, NO PETS, NO FIREWOOD (firewood can be purchased on-site).

Please respect the venue by keeping the grounds free of litter. This is a LEAVE NO TRACE EVENT

VOLUNTEERING

If you want to volunteer, tell a Chilluminati organizer at the front gate when you arrive. Chilluminati will be wearing the Chilluminati logo.

- Please note, very important: WE CANNOT GUARANTEE you will get to be a volunteer.

- We have strong interest in volunteers with emergency medical training. Please contact us directly if you have that under your belt.

- If you cannot arrive early on Friday but still want to volunteer, just show up when you can and ask at the front gate whether there are still volunteer positions available. We will let you know.

- Volunteers can only be confirmed as volunteers at the event when you show up, not via email or phone before the event.

- There will be 2 Chilluminati staff supervisors at all times. You will be working with them providing directions and scheduling.

- Responsibilities will mostly be assistance at gate and working internal security. Internal security means mostly watching for attendees' safety and well-being, answering questions, running errands for organizers who are otherwise bogged down, and issues that might cause problems for the party.

- If you want to volunteer, come with water bottles, comfortable clothing, flashlights, comfortable shoes, hat, and rain gear so you can handle the weather that staff will be working; also so you can work at night.

- If you have a Motorola Talkabout radio please bring it!!

Our model for security is Burning Man's Black Rock Rangers. We intend to follow a unintrusive, low-key peaceful approach to event security. We need people with good diplomatic skills, basically happy people committed to having fun but alert and mature.

Jackson County police had a very aggressive traffic stop program at the recent Effit Music Festival only a few miles from NCN, with over 30 traffic stops. Be careful driving in Jackson County, obey the speed limit, and make sure that your vehicle is in good shape, no broken taillights, etc.

Note the ref to "these festivals" ... this was not an isolated thing. They are targeting multiple events. Note also the use of K-9 units.

Quote
"This was a multijurisdictional effort to reduce drug trafficking and the use of controlled substances in Jackson County," Waldera said in a news release. "As these festivals continue, there is a need for law enforcement presence to ensure the safety of our citizens and our visitors to Jackson County. We will continue to work diligently to protect the safety and security of Jackson County."

Music fest brings drug arrests

.
Six people were arrested last weekend for drug violations during the Effit musical festival, Jackson County Sheriff Duane Waldera said Tuesday.

Marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, money and vehicles were seized, Waldera said, but he would not specify the amounts. A total of 31 traffic stops resulted in 32 traffic citations, 28 equipment repair orders, 18 warnings, eight marijuana citations, six drug paraphernalia citations and one citation each for underage drinking and possession of tobacco, Waldera stated.

Authorities arrested the event goers on charges of possession and manufacturing with intent to deliver marijuana, LSD and Ecstasy, operating after revocation and possession of drug paraphernalia, but names were not released. They were arrested and cited during traffic stops in the towns of Garfield, Cleveland and Northfield and near Osseo, Wis.

Sheriff's K-9 Nash was used and made 11 sniffs with positive results, Waldera said.

Effit Fest was held Thursday through Sunday at the Whispering Pines Campground in the town of Garfield near Osseo. It was the first time the music festival was held in Jackson County. Effit stands for Entertainment for Free Independent Thinkers. The festival Web site said more than 40 bands were scheduled to perform over the weekend.

The arrests were a joint cooperation between the Wisconsin State Patrol, Jackson and Trempealeau sheriff's departments and Osseo and Melrose police departments.

"This was a multi jurisdictional effort to reduce drug trafficking and the use of controlled substances in Jackson County," Waldera said in a news release. "As these festivals continue, there is a need for law enforcement presence to ensure the safety of our citizens and our visitors to Jackson County. We will continue to work diligently to protect the safety and security of Jackson County.
