About this episode
At Varden, the fusion of nature and music becomes reality, and Detroit-based artist Erika made it her playground. The Monument Family moved as one, a sea of smiling faces and dancing bodies flowing in sync, like waves in an ocean. Carried by her deep, hypnotic, and atmospheric sounds.
Dancers look on with childlike awe at the projections on the surrounding trees around Varden, painted by light in all of the colors of the rainbow. Smoke is suddenly coming in from the side, taking the shape of fog you can see over water sometimes. Time moved in slow motion, and all that could penetrate the fog was laser beams. It felt like being inside a lightning storm in a cloud. The ultimate synaesthesia vortex unfolding right before our eyes.
Erika’s music felt alive, creating moments where the boundaries between nature, technology, and human connection blurred. As if the trees Varden was built with helped her to fine-tune the sound. Those who danced that night weren’t just hearing techno, they became one with it under the stars.
Tune in now for Erika’s set closing the Varden stage on Saturday night of Monument Festival 2024.
