Hotham Sound Recordings: Resonance Beneath the Maple Tree

Saturday, June 21

A special performance in nature on Salt Spring Island, celebrating the Pacific Northwest label Hotham Sound's 10-year anniversary.

In its continued endeavour to connect nature and technology, Groundwaves is excited to welcome the ambient electronic label Hotham Sound Recordings to the Salty Pear on Salt Spring Island. This unique concert experience celebrating Hotham Sound's 10th anniversary, underneath the canopy of a maple tree, features artists KR75, Midi Janitor, Playback Head, Dove Magic, and Sean Evans.

--
Hotham Sound Recordings is located in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Their primary focus is on experimental electronic artists from the Pacific Northwest. There is a deep connection to Salt Spring within the label, which makes this anniversary celebration extra special.

The event will occur on the grounds at the Salty Pear. Guests are invited to join us at 4:00 pm for a wine bar pop-up serving A Sunday In August will be on site. The show begins a short walk away, under the large maple tree at 5:00 pm, with 20 - 25 minute showcase sets by the Hotham Sound label artists.

We encourage guests to bring a blanket and a jacket to sit on in case of a colder June solstice.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door (cash only).

Kids under 16 attend for free.

If you would like to attend but can't swing it financially, please email us at groundwaves.ssi@gmail.com

We're grateful to collaborate, create, and present on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.

Salty Pear Farm is interested in working with you to host your next workshop, wedding or event….

However, we are very selective about what kind of activity will take place on the property, as our family does live on the acreage and we concurrently run as an active b&b as well as a community booked sauna. So it has to be the right fit! We have curated all the art exhibitions that have so far hung in the gallery but are open to hearing from you to see if our visions can align. Please reach out including as many details as you can about your idea to work together here:
