AMC Friday Evening Ecstatic Dance w/ Ted Riskin
Location not specified yetFriday, April 10th
Evening Dance Wave 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Warmup 7pm | Opening Circle 7:30 pm
Facilitator | DJ Ted Riskin
Intention: TBATed is interested in anything that can get him out of his head, and music and movement do a pretty good job of that. He hopes to offer music that facilitates an inner journey and invitations that create a shift. While he likes modern electronic music, he can’t create a mix without including lots of natural instruments and voices. Due to a short attention span, he mixes in lots of different musical genres. You can hear some of his mixes on mixcloud.com/tarisk.
