outlet manifesto


Outlet is a series of avant-garde music events curated for the Quad Cities area. This area isn’t known widely for these genres of music, but Outlet aims to change that. Outlet seeks to tap into the deep love for avant-garde music that exists in the area and amplify that love.

/\

Outlet is an invitation to everyone to plug in and experience new avant-garde music. Outlet is also an invitation available to all to plug in to the local community, for everyone to be a part of the circuit.

/\

Outlet is a channel for release, for every single individual to share in the current. Outlet encourages the sharing of energy, to stimulate covalent bonds among individual atoms, for the production of cohesion. There are many systems in our lives that act as resistance to flow; Outlet, by contrast, aims for high conductivity, as a chance to encourage flow.

​/\

Outlet is configured to connect to foreign and domestic inputs. Outlet is global and universal. It aims to bring together people from all over, within and without the Quad Cities. Avant-garde music is not just for a small circle, to be insulated and confined to elitists alone. Outlet seeks to expand the circle. This is to improve the quality of life for the members of our community. The music has a unique power to stimulate. It spans many genres for many different settings, moods, and purposes. Outlet aims to be the conduit for all.
