Moment

Step into a seamless cascade of abstract sounds

Step into a seamless cascade of abstract sounds among the trees at Leach Botanical Garden. Join us for an evening of live music and DJ sets curated by Moment on the garden’s aerial tree walk. Bring chairs, blankets, or pack a picnic basket and enjoy a lovely summer evening in the garden. Refreshments and gift shop in the lower garden.

Moment is a Portland-based organization, producing and curating events in the city with a focus on sharing adventurous sounds from local and international artists.

Ana Roxanne (Live)
Ana Roxanne is a New York based musician working at the interzone of electric meditation, dream pop, and ambient songcraft. Her self-titled EP was later reissued by Leaving Records before signing with Kranky for her official full-length debut, 2020’s Because Of A Flower.
Her inspirations span the secular (R&B divas of 1980’s and 90’s) and the spiritual (Catholic choral traditions in which she was raised), synthesized into a uniquely intuitive sonic language, equal parts atmospheric and ancient, healing and hermetic.

Golden Retriever (Live)
Golden Retriever was formed in Portland, Or. in 2008 by multi-instrumentalists Jonathan Sielaff & Matt Carlson. Focusing on the relationship of two primarily monophonic instruments (modular synth & bass clarinet), and utilizing layering with a deft balance of improvisation & composition, the duo has created an infinitely varied approach to their sound world.
