Get ready for an intense three-day binge of sonic exploration.

The eight annual experimental-music event Debacle Fest will take place May 28-30 at the new all-ages Belltown entertainment complex Black Mountain, the Crocodile‘s Back Bar, and Northwest Film Forum. Debacle spotlights adventurous musicians from the Northwest and California whose work encompasses drone, electronic music, avant-garde composition, improv, out rock, and other styles. The full lineup will be announced soon, but the May 28 Opening Ceremony at NWFF will feature audio/visual collaborations: Marisa Anderson and Jodi Darby, Marc Price and Coldbrew Collective, and Garek Druss and Nick Bartoletti. Stay tuned for more Debacle Fest info as we receive it, and check out some of Marisa Anderson’s music after the jump.
