As psytrance friends of the Chilluminati, we want to tell you about the goings on in the Midwest through November. With 6 events total, including THREE amazing events just in time for a spooky Halloween weekend, any Midwestern Psytrancer would be crazy to miss out on any of these.

There's definitely no shortage of quality events in the Midwest before winter (when we retreat to our caves...)

Once we're all done hibernating, there's a call for 2009 event involvement... Please see the end of this mailing if you're interested in learning more.

Join us for post-Halloween Dark Psychedelic Madness where you can expect your senses to be twisted into some kind of strange grey goo that could cause the universe to collapse into itself and could possibly require you to ignore dry-clean only labels.

Featuring over 20,000 watts of sound from Rexroat Sound (Moline, Illinois), over 5,000 watts of blacklight for UV art installations, 16-million color 1-watt laser rig from Ocular Dreams (Minneapolis) and some of the sickest, most twisted interactive visuals you'll see this side of the Mississippi! Come early, come in costume!

Artists:

Panties the Clown (LiVE) - Psybertribe / Those People - Charlotte, NC

Corrupted by psytrance, Sir Panties of Clowntown will be manning six decks and melting faces faster than a bucket of acid. Expect warp speed psychedelic mashups and aural violations of the most extreme sort.

Facehead (LiVE)- Anomalistic Records - Eugene, OR

America's most powerful psy producer will lick the back of your brain with three dimensional sounds that fly through your soul like a runaway train. Weirdness, debauchery, and pure creative energy combine to bring you 2 hours of real horrowshow face melting.

Primordial Ooze (LiVE) - Chilluminati - Chicago/Milwaukee

The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ’s Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. as an experiment in genetic sound programming and nano-acoustic engineering… Self-replicating and mutating algorithms, swarms of frequencies that collaborate, breed and communicate, flourish in an environment of artificial selection and continual evolution. Currently working on two albums this energetic live act is continuously expand / collapsing their farm of pet-frequencies with various sonic creatures. These lively pets can cause serious mayhem on the dancefloor! But with properly tied shoes, participants are generally safe and happy.

Gnomes of Destruction - Audiognomes - Madison, Wi

GoD is a collaborative effort between two brothers, PsiloPsyBen (aka Earhammer) and Saeros, who strive to bring you the darkest beats in Psytrance. The darkness that flows from the speakers will consume you, taking you to the depths of your mind, twisting it until your ego falls into the primal nature of Id. Super-ego has no place here and GoD wishes to bring you to the depths of your psyche.

The Professor - Meta enTrance - Danvers, IL

Known for his intense, sophisticated and high-energy sound, Professor X is a well respected dj in the Mid-West psychedelic music scene. The Professor is well-known for his captivating aura, attracting people onto the dance floors with his driving high energy orchestration of sound. Innovative and spontaneous, he reads a crowd and spins mental mayhem to amplify the energy on the dance floor, keeping crowds stomping well into the sunshine of the day. While constantly requested to provide boomin full on daytime sets, he has revealed an entirely original dark psy style which infuses higher resonancing.

Ascension - Chilluminati - Peoria, IL

A newcomer to the scene by most standards, Ascension has been djing since June '07. It wasn't until after EarthDance 2007 that he realized psytrance was the only music he wanted to spin. After being on the other side of the decks at a few parties, it's his turn to show the dancefloor what he's got. His love of powerful, high energy music combined with dark, twisted sounds is sure to warp your brainwaves into psychedelic euphoria.

Aktif - Mind Outpsyde - Iowa City, IA

He is a warm and wild psy slinger from the nether regions of the known cosmos. Origionally from the Ukraine, he was "trance"-planted into the dark fields of PsyOwa where he propegates waves of devious and meniacle sonic healing. He bears gifts of swirling psychedellia, wrapped in a myriad of patterns and arrays of soundscapes. He DJs and produces psychedelic trance. He's a perpetual student of life's teachings. He is psychedelic, he is unique, he is funny. He likes things that make him laugh. He likes to laugh, and is dying to meet you!

Agent Hurt - Mind Outpsyde - Peoria, IL

"I'm a DJ. The stuff I play sounds like the stuff nightmares are made of. Any music I listen to has to make me feel. I cannot just listen to pointless garbage, I need music that sends a shiver up my spine. " Enough said.

Zero SiX - Chilluminati - Bloomington, IL

Zero Six has been involved in the electronic music scene since the nineties and began DJing psychedelic trance in 2001. One of the masterminds behind the groundbreaking Illogical Productions Crew and central Illinois' Trance Psyndicate, he continues to break ground with the mythodical and pulsing waves of energy that make up the path to the iridescent dreamscapes created within his internal Department of Psychoactivity. He is also the creator of the Eo Somnium concept group, designed to act as an accessory to The Chilluminati.

As the visuals behind the Broadway production of “Warp” and the resident lightshow for the Melkweg and Paradiso clubs in Amsterdam from 1969 to 1972, the Khamphalous Lightshow were pioneers of the psychedelic lightshow experience. The PakaPaka lightshow brings these visions into the digital age.

"The Historic HUB Ballroom has a rich history of famous and notable performers. For starters The HUB has been traditionally known by the ballroom dancers of the Midwest as the place for big bands and ballroom dancing since 1938. Some of the Big Bands to grace the HUB's stage, just to name a few are Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and his orchestra, Cab Calloway and Lawrence Welk (10 x's and a HUB favorite). While the parents were upstairs enjoying the sounds of all the contemporary big bands, their teenagers were downstairs experimenting with a new sound called Rock 'n' Roll. Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and his band the Crickets, The Turtles, The Outsiders are just some of the Rock 'n' Roll bands they enjoyed. Buddy Holly and The Crickets played the HUB one week before his tragic death in 1959. There have also been a number of great country bands like The Confederate Railroad.

The Historic HUB Ballroom is a charming facility with most of its original character intact. The HUB is famous for its legendary 5,500 sq. ft. floating Maplewood dance floor. There is no other like it in the Midwest in size, feel and character. The new chapter of The HUB Ballroom will be defined as it always has been, by its quality of live entertainment. The HUB will continue to host big band events on Sundays and the original Mexican Family dances on other days, which hasbeen a recent revival for The HUB. Country will have its place as well as Rock 'n' Roll. Something to be added to The HUB this chapter is Comedy, varieties of Contemporary Dance and Urban showcases."

==== Call for 2009 event involvement ====
=============================

Chilluminati is looking at the calendars and starting to plan upcoming events. We already have a solid date for Sacred Earth Open-Air 2009 (2008.05.29, 30, 31) and we'll begin securing our space for next year's Earthdance once we get confirmation on its date (it will be mid-September, likely).

Our events are guided by psychedelic trance, chill and ambient music. Yet our events are more than music though. They are multidimensional, multifaceted trance, visual, art and kinetic performance events. They are experiences, a psychedelic circus, so to say. Chilluminati events are about transformation and becoming. Whatever your sense of spirituality is, you bring that to the event, thus collectively contributing to the field of energy that connects us. These events are a gift which we all (organizers, artists and attendees) give to each other.

If you are a musician, visual artist, performer, poet, healer, educator, organizer or promoter, and would like to get involved with Chilluminati events, we'd love to get involved with you... please write us directly: crew(AT)chilluminati.org

Chilluminati News: Juno Reactor 9.26.2008 + More Fall Events

2008-09-18T00:44:31Z

Greetings, Chilluminati Community!

We've officially wrapped up our 2008 festival season with Earthdance 2008, and what a magical event it was! Photos are beginning to trickle in, as are the reviews. Stay connected to http://chilluminatiforum.org for up-to-the-minute additions.

There have been glowing reviews across the internet and we'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for their contributions that made the event what it was. We'll be back in Black River Falls this Spring for Sacred Earth Open-Air 2009. The dates are May 29, 30, and 31. Mark your calendars!

The next event that we'd like to let everyone know about is Juno Reactor in Chicago.

Here are the complete details:

Juno Reactor & Future Rock Live P.A. - Friday 09.26.2008

Juno Reactor is a musical and performing act known for the cinematic fusion of electronic, orchestral and global music, the Matrix score and other film works. Central to the project is Ben Watkins, and his collaborations with a constantly changing ensemble of musicians from across the world, including percussionist Mabi Thobejane from South Africa along with countrymen Amampondo, Eduardo Niebla, Steve Stevens, Greg Ellis, Taz Alexander, Ghetto Priest, Sugizo and recently Yasmin Levy. Originally Juno Reactor was formed as an art project in 1990; Ben Watkins wanted to collaborate with other artists to produce and be involved in exciting projects that were not commercially driven. He wanted to create experimental music/non musical soundtracks that would work with installations, art pieces and film projects.

learn more about Juno Reactor

Future Rock is electronic sensory overload. The trio has steadily been touring the US, electrifying audiences and developing a dedicated following during their journey. Their legendary late night performances at festivals and after-parties have quickly confirmed their status at the top of the live electronic scene. Coupled with an explosive light show, FR certifies an unparalleled multi-sense experience. The Chicago-based trio exhibits an uncommon grasp of minimalist, yet visceral, rock. Skillfully manipulating live loops, synthesizers, filters and an electronic drum kit, the trio succeeds in creating a larger-than-life sound that sends crowds into frenzies.

Chilluminati: Earthdance 2008 Sept. 12, 13, 14 // Black River Falls, Wi // Updates!

2008-09-07T14:51:16Z

Greetings, all!

With the Earthdance 2008 Black River Falls, Wi event quickly approaching, we would like to tell you about some of the event's updates. We also want to issue a quick reminder that discounted pre-sale tickets are still available and will be until sometime Wednesday evening. We encourage you to support The Chilluminati's efforts (and save $15 per ticket!) by pre-registering yourself and your guests today.

We're very excited to bring world-class musical talent to the Midwest yet again. With our two biggest acts, Robert Rich and Ghreg on Earth, we feel that we've over-delivered on both ends of the psychedelic spectrum.

Quoted from Robert Rich's blog:

"Wisconsin's Earthdance takes place in Black River Falls, and I'm hoping to rip a marathon there if the mood strikes. With the improvisational mindset that has taken hold for me this year, I rely on the energy of listers to guide me forward. I know that my sounds can seem slow at times to those that aren't on the same page, so I tend to adjust according to vibe. Sometimes my sets get heavy and intense, sometimes bright and shiny, or mellow and gentle. I try my best to read the energy. If the vibe hits, magic can happen. I keep hoping for this.

At some point after that I hope, some of this performance preparation will start to inform the new album I have brewing in my head..."

We're confident that we'll be able to meet everyone's expectations. ;)

We've also posted complete information about this year's theme:

Honoring the Earth: This year, the Earthdance �Prayer for Peace� will be followed by a unified Global MA, as people across the world synchronize their voices with the intention of healing the Earth.

To increase cohesiveness and provide a single, specific point of focus for the global community, the �Prayer for Peace� will be immediately followed by a recording of a fundamental tone (the specific human frequency of 125hz), which will serve as a foundation for people to tune into.

The Earth is our Home, our Mother. We are born from it�s soil and return to it when we die. During this time of accelerated global change and environmental devastation, we are being called to honor our Earth and find new ways to live sustainably on this planet.

At 6:00pm CST on Saturday September 13th, 2008 people across the world will unite their voices to create a synchronized Global MA (Pronounced "MAAAAH") to honor our Mother Earth and all Mothers on our planet. This moment will be the highlight of Earthdance 2008, and will follow the �Prayer for Peace� which unifies people in over 350 cities, in 65 counties.

Also to be noted, Chilluminati member, Microcosm, has organized a special camp dedicated to children. We're very excited about this. We feel that it is very important for parents to be able to trust that their children can attend Chilluminati events safely, and worry-free. From the Chillumianti website:

"We are forming a tight cicrle for families planning on attending the camp, tent doors to face inward to keep an easy eye on all who are going in an out, so please check in with us when you arive, we would also appretiate anyone planning on attending with children to RSVP to Microcosm @ kmfdm72@gmail.com

Why RSVP? We are planning on having several art classes and puppet shows, as well as fresh fruit for snacks and it would help getting an idea of how many kids are going to be there, also we will be able to alot you a spot in the circle as it will be first come first serve.

Activities: Shadow puppet show during friday night and interactive UV painting, camp songs and a visit to the Chill stage, On Satruday we plan on making a special art project to help you keep track of your little ones at night then we will have a hand puppet show the kids will put on during late afternoon, a poi spinning class will also be on the list of activities for that day, evening will have another trip to the Chill stage and roasting marshmallows by the fire.

Parents are responsible for their children and will be responsible for checking in to camp during times we are tending to your little ones, there will be two hour shifts available for parents who want to roam in the evening to go and dance and spend some time alone, however please remember to check in and make sure things are going well, we can all take group shifts to ensure everyone gets those moments away. We will be providing a planner to sign up for a shift and sign up for your times out of the camp.

Things to remember to bring:
Warm clothes, plenty of food and water, a flashlight for your kids, glowsticks and string, a water bottle they can keep with them, bug spray and sun block.
And lighting for inside your tent, if you are going to be away at night it is best to give them a little light and some books and maybe a favorite stuffed animal."

Lastly, according to the 10-day forecast, we're in for some good weather. We'll be closely monitoring the weather services throughout the week and will send out additional e-mails if there are any dramatic changes.

If you haven't yet had the opportunity to read all the details about this event, the full information is at the end of this e-mail.

Be sure to get your pre-sale tickets from Psymbolic.com by Wednesday!

We would like to wish everyone safe travels as we conclude our 2008 festival season.

In light,

The Chilluminati

Earthdance 2008
September 12, 13, 14 // Black River Falls, Wi

//// 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: This year, the Earthdance �Prayer for Peace� will be followed by a unified Global MA, as people across the world synchronize their voices with the intention of healing the Earth.

To increase cohesiveness and provide a single, specific point of focus for the global community, the �Prayer for Peace� will be immediately followed by a recording of a fundamental tone (the specific human frequency of 125hz), which will serve as a foundation for people to tune into.

This moment will be the highlight of Earthdance 2008, and will follow the �Prayer for Peace� which unifies people in over 350 cities, in 65 counties.

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), Gaud� (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.

**Ghreg on Earth** - LIVE + DJ - MoE // San Francisco, CA

Since the late 1980s, Ghreg On Earth has woven a unique musical vision as DJ, A&R manager and Producer. His dedication and passion for an intelligent, gritty and moody musical journey, has forged a sound that is known for it�s timeless cinematic spaces that push the trance medium far beyond its formula parameters. Meshing, Blurring and Slurring wildly diverse stylistic elements into trance dancefloor alchemy, his sound has become synonymous with adventure in the unpredictable peak of sonic apotheosis.

Ghreg�s debut full length album, Sigilweaver, stunned and lit afire the trance world with its release in Winter of 2005. It represents a new benchmark in sound exploration that continues to awe listeners and dancers hungry for a timeless journey through the outer regions and inner alcoves of deep nighttime soundscapes.

Ghreg On Earth currently resides on the West Coast of North America (Earth) where he continues to create electronic music without boundaries�. taking the next steps into futuristic mythologies that conjure the sonic imagination of tomorrow.

**Aerosis** - LIVE PA - Suntrip Records // Minnesota + California

Aerosis was formed in the summer of 2006 by Goa Trance artists Bobby "Synogen" Ognyanov and Jeremy "Tempestuous G" Green and debuted the project on August 1st, 2006. Producing since 2004, the two talents convened at a site a site called ACIDplanet, and have been learning production from each other ever since. The first track the two created was Contorsion, and is also their first song to be released professionally, through their friends at Suntrip Records. Contorsion is the 2nd track featured on the Twist Dreams compilation.

Alternately and individually known as Synogen (Bobby) and Tempestuous G ( Jeremy) the two are known to dabble in a wide assortment of projects, but have culminated into a steady (and looks like lasting) focus on Aerosis.

Aerosis is working towards the completion of their debut album "Leap of Faith", aiming to bedazzle the goa collective with a delighting tale of spiritual exploration.

The Professor - Meta EnTrance // Phoenix

Known for his intense, sophisticated and high-energy sound, the Professor is a well respected dj in the Mid-West psychedelic music scene. The Professor is well-known for his captivating aura, attracting people onto the dance floors with his driving high energy orchestration of sound. Innovative and spontaneous, he reads a crowd and spins mental mayhem to amplify the energy on the dance floor, keeping crowds stomping well into the sunshine of the day. While constantly requested to provide boomin full on daytime sets, he has revealed an entirely original dark psy style which infuses higher resonancing.

The Professor, A.K.A. Bradley John grew up in the Mid-West in a small town in Illinois called Normal. He started djing electronic music in 1998 while attending Full Sail recording school in Orlando, Florida. His first influences were progressive house and breakbeats. After working for Universal Studios as a live sound engineer for six years, he headed back to the Mid-West to find his roots. There he discovered psytrance in his hometown. Brad then began playing shows as a core member of the TRANCEPSYNDICATE under the dj name Professor X.

Now the Professor is living in the rural desert outside of Phoenix, Arizona. He participates in events with local psytrance collective OVERMINDWORKS and visual artist eNdo. The Professor is also a featured artist at META enTRANCE, a psychedelic trance radio station and psytrance portal.

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. Recognized and appreciated by his untraditional sounds, The Great Mundane worked with Belladonna Records to release two limited time EP's and has released his debut album "When Falls Arrive" wit
h Psymbolic--sounds.

Primordial Ooze - Divine Balance Records + Kabrathor // Chicago + Milwaukee

The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. as an experiment in genetic sound programming and nano-acoustic engineering... Self-replicating and mutating algorithms, swarms of frequencies that collaborate, breed and communicate, flourish in an environment of artificial selection and continual evolution. Currently working on two albums this energetic live act is continuously expand/collapseing their farm of pet-frequencies with various sonic creatures. These lively pets can cause serious mayhem on the dancefloor! But with properly tied shoes, participants are generally safe and happy.

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+).

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

- 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.

Event information:

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

//// 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

This year, the Earthdance �Prayer for Peace� will be followed by a unified Global MA, as people across the world synchronize their voices with the intention of healing the Earth.

To increase cohesiveness and provide a single, specific point of focus for the global community, the �Prayer for Peace� will be immediately followed by a recording of a fundamental tone (the specific human frequency of 125hz), which will serve as a foundation for people to tune into.

The Earth is our Home, our Mother. We are born from it�s soil and return to it when we die. During this time of accelerated global change and environmental devastation, we are being called to honor our Earth and find new ways to live sustainably on this planet.

At 6:00pm CST on Saturday September 13th, 2008 people across the world will unite their voices to create a synchronized Global MA (Pronounced "MAAAAH") to honor our Mother Earth and all Mothers on our planet. This moment will be the highlight of Earthdance 2008, and will follow the �Prayer for Peace� which unifies people in over 350 cities, in 65 counties.

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), Gaud� (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.

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

- 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.
