8:00–9:00 p.m., Atrium
Immerse yourself in the masterful arrangements and sound designs of Dallas-based electronic composer Jake Schrock. Using vintage instruments, analog synthesizers, and drum machines, Schrock’s work is both playful and sophisticated and unique to contemporary synth culture.  Late Night After Hours featuring Black Taffy

10:00–10:45 p.m., Atrium
Experience a unique performance by Black Taffy, a Dallas-based composer and performer whose current focus lies in blending ambient music with large bass and percussion. The first-born son of Pentecostal music ministers, he grew up witnessing the power music has to induce trance and encourage spiritual awakening. Eventually drawing parallels between Christianity, voodoo, and the occult, he left the former to immerse himself in the latter. Sometimes performing with a vibraphone and cassette decks, he frequently employs the use of cassette tape loops and other antiquated mediums to create pillowy worlds of wow and flutter.
