Shifting Harbor from Portland, OR joins Desert on Wednesday, April 29th. Joined by the Kurva Quartet and Hannah Joyce. $12 at the door, and no one turned away for lack of funds. We’re excited for a great night of ambient sounds, music, and poetry.

Shifting Harbor is an ambient soundscape project based in Portland, Oregon, fronted by Tom Asselin (Canadensis, Medicine for a Nightmare). The sounds have been described as evolving sonic landscapes rotating through time. The blending of manipulated textures creates an atmospheric ocean that can have the effect of observing memories that may or may not belong to the listener. Shifting Harbor’s live shows land somewhere between Stars of the Lid and Rites of Spring.
