ABOUT

Join us for ambient psychedelia, hypnotic sound collage, and synthesized worlds with Dylan Ryan, Drekka, and Taylor K. Sullivan-Peters. 8PM DOORS /// 830PM SHOW /// ALL-AGES $10 ADMISSION + FOOD OR DRINK PURCHASE REQUIRED ________________________ Chicago-based Dylan Ryan makes a return to Orbit Room, this time performing material from his new solo album, In The Same Room With A Cactus," on eyes&ears Records. Dylan's band Bronze performed at Sounds From the Black Hole in January 2025. This solo album is the result of 3 years of work, written primarily on synthesizer and drum machine. The results are reminiscent of komische, new age, and the softer facets of jazz. For this live presentation, Dylan will be joined by Nate Lepine on soprano saxophone.

Dylan Ryan has played with Bronze, SAND, Man Man, Ether Feather, The Red Krayola, Bitchen Bajas, Icy Demons, and has albums out on Cuneiform Records. https://dylanryan.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-same-room-with-a-cactus ________________________ Working under the name DREKKA since 1996, American composer Michael Anderson has toured, traveled, and collaborated extensively; collecting memories and building a personalized archive of sound that dates back to the mid-1980's.

Anderson's work dwells heavily on themes of silence, memory, and forgetfulness; functioning as a direct line to the mind and its tenuous cache of memories. An unguarded freneticism is clearly on display, rather than being obscured by poetic abstractions; seeking to occupy and confront those dark spaces which comprise the tenuous province of memory, dreams, anxiety, and a palpable, haunted sense of liminality.

Michael also performs in the groups Crisping Lover and Water Is The Sun. https://bluesanct.com/bands/drekka/ ________________________ Taylor K. Sullivan-Peters is a musician, electrical engineer and instrument builder based out of Indianapolis. Using homemade synthesizers and electronic circuitry, Taylor creates dynamic fields of sound--power ambient that can contain gentle, enveloping baths to swarming pricks and stabs. This is exciting, adventurous ambient that takes you on a journey through your own mind.
