Gate to Moonbase Alpha MP3s
(for personal use)

 

Philly Artist/Label CD Compilations and Samplers  Gate to Moon Base Alpha:  Season One: From Phobos to Ganymede The Gate to Moon Base Alpha is a performance series organized by the Philadelphia Ambient Consortium and sponsored by the Foundation, a community culture project at the University of Pennsylvania. The season started in October 1999 with performances held at the Rotunda Building at 40th and Walnut Street in West Philadelphia. Every third Friday of the month for the next eight months we paid artists, offerred free admission, and sometimes free vegetarian food to all beings interested in new music in Philadelphia. With three performances an evening the schedule was very busy. The first Gate featured hour long sets by Unsound, Ted Casterline's Perfect Pieces of Fruit, and Dominick Zappa. Over the next 2 years, many others performed featuring the entire spectrum of new music in Philadelphia. For most of these performances we have fantastic recordings thanks to Andrew Zitcer and his trusty Minidisc recorder. Mp3s for each groups performance are between 40 and 60 minutes long, and are so large that they are not likely suitable for downloading. Audio streams of the shows are available for your Internet connection speed (56kbps or 300kbps).
