1. The Nature Edition: https://youtu.be/3r3z2ri3jKM Improvised classically-styled electronica performed by digital keyboardist Don Slepian set to natural scenic ambient video. This is the one most people will see.

2. The Psychedelic Edition: https://youtu.be/0oVj0wuKzXI This comes with a warning disclaimer. The visuals here are mandala-styled computer graphics that respond to the music. Those who like this sort of thing may like this very much.

IDGY DEAN Live at the National Arts Club

A self-described feminist loop artist, mystic and yogini, Idgy Dean infuses her one-woman psychedelic rock with a calming Zen presence that belies the emotional intensity of her DIY beats. Although she released her debut LP Ominous Harminus in 2015, the Brooklynite otherwise known as Lindsay Sanwald has been making music since she was a teenager, inspired to play drums, guitar and bass and write her own songs by the dual presence of Kate Bush and Nine Inch Nails. If those influences sound divergent at first glance, think again – Dean’s music combines a visceral mysticism with a performative grandeur that reflects the dark and the life-giving in equal measure, doling out tribal drum beats and clangorous guitar lines underneath airy vocals during her live shows, which are symphonies of emotion wrought from loop pedals. A magnetic performer, Dean’s ethereal experimental pop has naturally found its way into theater, when she was responsible for the live score of The ETLE Universe, a “queer feminist cyborg time-travel epic thing.”
With recent TV appearances, movie synch and brand licensing deals. featured selections to both the Red Bull Music Academy and Adrien Grenier’s Wreckroom Records, Idgy Dean is taking off. This is a rare opportunity to catch her in a relatively small venue at the National Arts Club. You will be in for a real show. Idgy Dean is a fully formed multimedia artist, and she will be projecting her work, as well as performing live. Check her out on Youtube to get a preview.
Come early to enjoy the art, drinks, and good company at the National Arts Club!
