"Hello friends. It is with the utmost enthusiasm that I announce the 45th anniversary Sea of Bliss tour. To celebrate the historic anniversary, I will be hitting the road on two legs of shows, first across the Midwest, and then a trek along the East Coast. It has been a dream of mine for some time now to do a tour of this nature. I will be doing a handful of workshops and presentations along the way and would love to connect with other computer music fanatics out there while on the road. I look forward to performing in your wonderful towns.
These tours are never easy for musicians, least of all financially. If my music has meant something to you over the years, I truly hope you secure a ticket for yourself and a friend. Come talk to me after the show, purchase merch, and spread the word as we perform classical music of the future, today."
Don Slepian, a composer, performer, and music technologist, is celebrated as a pioneer in the ambient and new age music movement, blending classical influences with cutting-edge electronic techniques. From serving as artist-in-residence at Bell Laboratories and Synthesizer Soloist with the Honolulu Symphony to performing at esteemed venues like Lincoln Center, WNYC’s New Sounds, and the Centre Pompidou, his career spans decades of innovation and acclaim. He also recorded albums for the electronic music labels Fortuna and Audion in the 1980s.
Recently, he has sold out shows at the Philosophical Research Society, accompanied therapeutic psychedelic ceremonies, lectured at Stanford University, appeared on Dublab radio, and is preparing a tour celebrating the forty-fifth anniversary of his seminal record Sea of Bliss. Now based in the Pocono Mountains, Slepian continues to compose, perform, and build innovative instruments, cementing his legacy as a visionary in the field.
