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.
This week’s performer: Benjamin Mjolsness makes guitar and other noise in the Chicago group Male. You can expect tonal guitar, spacial fingerpicked pieces, and probably some field recordings. Maybe even some other live noises.
