New Stage Programming at Movement Festival Will Showcase Rarely Seen Genre of Electronic Music: Ambient DETROIT-Paxahau today announced a new structure for stage programming that will give ambient music a chance to shine. Ambient is down-tempo to no-tempo music, traditionally for listening or more relaxed environments. Two stages will be open from noon to 2pm at the festival each day, in order to help create the proper listening environment for ambient music. In addition to these festival openers, other early timeslots have been given to artists traditionally not considered dance music. "Ambient has played a large, yet rather understated role in the evolution of electronic music," said Jason Clark of Paxahau. "Up until this year it has not had a true chance to shine at Detroit's Electronic Music Festival."

On Sunday the prolific Robert Rich takes the opening timeslot. In an era of laptop musicians, Rich stands out as one of the extremely few musicians who travels with a modular analog synthesizer. In addition to his more than 40 full-length releases, he has pushed the envelope of ambient music with concepts such as his all-night "sleep concerts" in the early 80's and possibly the longest continuous piece of ambient music ever released, "Somnium" -- 7 hours long.
