THE BUNKER SLO PRESENTS:

Memories of the Far Shore

A one-of-a-kind immersive sensory experience in music and live performance by bryant keith bayhan and Aaron Kroeger.

This show is based on growing up and living near the Baywood Estuary between Los Osos and Morro Bay. The music is a mixture of meditative ambient compositions, vibrant improvised percussion, and detailed field recordings which have been lovingly arranged into an immersive soundscape for surround sound speakers. The evening will be bathed in orange-yellow light to mimic the feeling of the sun setting over the sand dunes near the Estuary–as it falls beyond the western shore and deep past the Pacific Ocean.

The music embodies beautiful, natural metaphors of light shining across sand, rising ocean tides, and dense fog through live improvisation and creative sound design with technology.

Our performance of Memories of the Far Shore is timed to start at sunset and end at the edges of twilight, which means the event will begin at the times listed. Don’t be late, and consider bringing a cushion to relax into your seat or be comfortable on the floor during the duration of the performance. This event encourages the accommodation of different sensory sensitivities and needs. Please bring whatever you’d like to be comfortable for an hour with music that is mostly quiet and minimalistic but occasionally gets very stimulating.

This is a Free Event with limited capacity: tickets are not necessary.

Art After Dark

Welcome Spring Break Jake to the Bunker SLO. Jake is an artist we met at a group show in San Francisco. Jake is a Bend, OR-based painter who creates heavily textured, multi-layered work using the juxtaposition of tropical imagery and colors with macabre, Memento Mori-style illustrations.

Shining a light on the all-too-often unseen and unspoken parts of our psyches, Spring Break Jake's work explores the reality of our collective mental health, encouraging the viewer to embrace the good & the bad, the light & the dark, and the inner & outer worlds that are inherent to the human condition.
