The site
Green River, Utah — open ground, red rock and no ceiling. The desert does the room acoustics and the light show for free.
Sound Dunes Production presents
Three days of music, art, workshops and vendors in the Utah desert.
MusicArtWorkshopsVendors
Green River sits where the interstate gives up pretending there is anything either side of it. Red rock, open sky, and a horizon that does not get closer no matter how long you drive at it.
For three days in October we put a system down in it, and somewhere after the light goes the place stops behaving like a desert.
Counting down
Transmission live — see you out there
Six things this festival is built around. None of them are a wristband upgrade.
Green River, Utah — open ground, red rock and no ceiling. The desert does the room acoustics and the light show for free.
Sound by Heart & Sol Audio, specified for open air rather than borrowed from a club. Most of the budget lives here and you will hear where it went.
October 23 to 25. Long enough that the weekend stops being a schedule and starts being a place you live for a bit.
A named part of the programme, not a side room. Things worth learning from people worth learning them from.
Work built for this landscape and lit for this night. If you make something that belongs out here, we want to hear about it.
Production designed for the hours when the temperature drops and the horizon disappears. That is when the invasion actually starts.
You drive until the map stops being useful.
The light goes orange, then goes.
Something on the horizon starts keeping time.
It is not a mirage and it is not going away.
Photographs from the desert.
We send few emails and none of them are a newsletter. When something is happening in the desert, you hear first.
