Awakening after a three year hiatus, Imbue is back with a new lease on life. We have returned to the source of our inspiration to present a new take on immersive ambient environments with Interdimensional Transmissions.

Our new home at 626 Harper Ave in Detroit's Milwaukee Junction provides a clean space with a capable foundation to create this new collaborative vision — Imbue 1.0 — where we will focus the experience of our collective vibrational energy through the lens of an informed past, to blow minds beyond what's known.

Leading our evening is IT's own Erika, who has created a new live set for this event. Over the years since her first Imbue appearance, she's tirelessly expanded her limitless creative perspective with serene mixes and music that remind us how to feel with depth and space. She's paired with visuals from Harriet Fran and bjsphantasyclub, long-time collaborators who make the Outer Space room at No Way Back a visionary journey year-in and year-out.

Bringing a hybrid set of new music from Brooklyn's underground is Omar Ahmad, a Palestinian-American composer whose critically acclaimed debut Inheritance is a personal testament to global storytelling with powerful and experimental ambient sounds. Producing Omar's music into visual space is otodojo, a Touchdesigner master who creates an understanding vision from both a sonic and socially dynamic perspective.

Returning to the zone with us is King Sophia, whom we last saw looping a live cello and bringing the house to an unmitigated state of emotional suspense. With visuals from Felice, their analog vibrations will co-exist on a plane of emergent soul.

New to Imbue is Detroit's Gwendolyn Dot, who is creating a new live set for us and collaborating with Matt Rozensky to develop new thoughts on what we consider reality, to question it and find what's missing between the astral plane and a classically grounded foundation.

Opening our doors of perception are Jorissen and ACE, with a new A/V project dubbed Black Sand Transition—which will explore the tension between our digital lives and the inherent need to be in nature. A harmonic synthesis of ethereal found-sounds and a woven tapestry of visual collage.

Adorning the space we experience will be Infinite Dimensions, who have created countless memories and events with IT. They will create an enthralling sprawl of creative warmth and womb-like wormholes with Imbue's resident installation wonder Ashely Worden and Sean Hages, who are the absolute best creative artists to build this immersive journey with us.

This is the sensational tingling of limbs returning from atrophy. The joy of finding something lost. A break from the binding cycle of hardship and catharsis. 

This is an ITHQ Imbue.
