On Saturday, March 13th, Phantasmagoria in Wheaton, MD will host a multimedia event rarely seen outside of huge stadiums. The Dark Aether Project will perform in support of their brand new second CD _Feed The Silence_ accompanied by special guests German Warr Guitarist Markus Reuter of the Europa String Choir (who also appears on the album) and space-jam improv greats Quarkspace. This event also marks former Echolyn vocalist Ray Weston's first performance as a full member of The Dark Aether Project since joining just prior to the recording of the new album. Accompanying the music will be the spectacular visual work of the Ohio-based Solar Fire Lightshow and their multi-projection liquid light & film systems with multi-colored strobes, black lights, smoke, beams and other amazing visual effects which have made them one of the premier US lightshow outfits and the choice of visiting foreign space rock forefathers like Hawkwind and Gong.
