Portland? I'd check out the film festival there. Lots of cool, very, sometimes quite, ummmm, 'experimental' creative types. I found Portland to be a great place for music. In fact, it's a hot spot now! I don't know if they still do the Portand Creativity Conference there.... but it sometimes had some wild stuff. I did some very outside music for them a few times. Lots of ad agency types who can be kind of plastic, but sometimes they're wide open & creative and when they are, they can be quite amazing. Kinda sad but true. Anyhow, the film makers are the place to take adventurous music. The competition is steep, though. That's true everywhere now. If you DO decide to do a looping event there let me know - I know a good promotion person who can help get it out to the public. She costs (some) money, though. She used to run The Bite - very well connected to all of the scenes there. On Feb 22, 2009, at 6:49 AM, Nevyn Nowhere wrote: \ |
