**REFLECTIONS** presents a transcendent evening with new age legend **Laraaji** and composer **Sam Prekop** (of The Sea & Cake) on live analog electronics, performing together for the first time as a visionary duo.

Over the course of the evening, we’ll experience solo sets from Sam and Laraaji, followed by an improvised collaboration. Join us for this historic encounter between two icons of ethereal sound – a segue between earth and sky, organic and electronic – under an immersive light show at this gorgeous former church.

**LARAAJI** is an ambient pioneer, new age trailblazer, street musician, serial collaborator, zither-player extraordinaire, sound healer and teacher of laughter meditation. His uniquely spiritual music has been soothing, entrancing and transporting his listeners to another place for more than 40 years.

In 1978, Gordon was busking in Washington Square Park when **Brian Eno** chanced upon his performance and dropped a note into his zither case. They went on to record 1980’s *Ambient 3: Day of Radiance*, an album that established Laraaji as an inimitable figure in the New Age landscape and remains a classic of its titular genre. Though Ambient 3 exposed his mesmerizing work to a new audience, Laraaji continued self-releasing experimental cassette tapes into the ’80s. In the last decade, albums on labels like Light in the Attic, RVNG, and Leaving Records have caught the attention of another new generation of listeners. His latest release is *Segue To Infinity*, a 4-disc collection on Numero Group.

**SAM PREKOP** is a Chicago-based musician and visual artist. For more than 25 years, as a solo performer or as part of **The Sea and Cake**, Prekop creates a singular sound, inventive and warm. His distinctive vocals, guitar playing and work on modular analog synthesizers are inventive, delicate, and always bear his signature sense of melody.
