Glad Cloud celebrates the rich landscape of Chicago musicians working with ambient music, be it acoustic, electric, or both. Curated by Benjamin Mjolsness, the series provides an opportunity for ambient artists to colour the air, walls, and liquids of the Whistler in a deliberately non-intrusive manner. Visitors enjoy their cocktails and companions while the music envelops the room around them; performing artists are able to work on new approaches to their music. 8-10pm.
Featured artist: Adam Tramposh composes, performs and produces original compositions under the moniker Polymer Slug. Adam is a piano, keyboard, and DIY-recording enthusiast. Performances consist of on-the-fly, synth-based looping. The result is predominantly ambient / textural, but not without warmth and pop sensibility.
