About me: Project Apollo's ongoing objective is to reconnect the people of Earth with space. We hope to realise this through musical (and other media) events that look to the stars for inspiration, and celebrate space-music of all forms.
2007 saw the launch of the Atlanta Space Program, a series of live music events in various venues in the Metro Atlanta area.
Plans are being drawn for the next Project Apollo event. Message us here or email projectatlanta@gmail.com to get involved and get your questions answered!
Members of Project Apollo are busy on a regular basis with their various other projects: Recompas, The Early Modern Witch Trials, Judi Chicago... and a number of affiliated friends and family across the globe. See the Project Apollo friends list for individual profile pages and more information.
Who I'd like to meet: All those interested in space music: futuristic, psychedelic, ambient, minimal, space-rock or electronic: performing or listening.
All artists facinated by the universe we inhabit, willing to give their time and talent to explore outer (and inner) space with us.
All those of you who had forgotten how fascinated they were by space while growing up. Remember the first time you saw a rocket launch, someone floating in zero gravity, or a human walking on the moon?...
Please contact us here or at projectatlanta@gmail.com with any further questions.
Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you! Happy Birthay to you!
