This was our first time at Burning Man, it also happened to be the year of the Free Burn, which felt extra surreal.
I showed up at the Playa the night before the show, after hours of driving looking for the Robot Heart bus. Jeremy had to stay in New York and was making the trip the following day, hopefully getting to the bus just in time for our soundcheck.
The Free Burn meant that the usual coordinates of the camps didn't match, so I drove an hour out of the Playa to text him our location. The following day, I woke up at 2pm after a long night of experiencing the magic of the sound pumping out of the Robot Heart bus, and Jeremy showed up just in time for soundcheck.
We were ready to go!
We were immediately embraced by the whole Robot Heart community, and were frankly overwhelmed by how kind, inspiring and welcoming everyone was.
We played on the Robot Heart bus - the most formidable sound system I’ve ever heard, overlooking the Playa at sunset. We improvised a live ambient set that was a soundtrack for the majestic beauty that was surrounding us, as well as a tribute to Geo's spirit and immeasurable legacy.
If you weren't with us that night, close your eyes, and let the music take you… One last thing.... Rumor has it we tried to bring a grand piano to the playa. We did. It didn't work out, but there is always the future...
Much gratitude to everyone at Robot Heart, and to Navid and to all who came out to hear us on this unforgettable night.
Big Love,
