Sunday Afternoon Groove Session w/ Arthur Loves Plastic / L’Avenir / Analog Tara / Juana
Sunday, March 26, 2017
2pm-5pm

Arthur Loves Plastic sounds like the hour before the Singularity; dominant machines clicking and humming in rhythm and harmony with a touch of subversive humanity. Arthur Loves Plastic is the melody of neurotransmissions firing into random access memory. Arthur Loves Plastic is for people who require a machine to buffer their contact with others. http://arthurlovesplastic.com
