Planetarium is an event for listening deeply. We ask everyone who attends to remain silent in the listening area and to step outside the space for any conversations. We also ask that there is no phone use in the entire space. If that sounds good to you, read on... - - - - - - Planetarium begins its 2026/2027 season in the private loft we have called home for ten years. Justin Carter and Rena Anakwe play records, and Rod Modell plays live. Justin Carter is the co-creator of Planetarium as well as the architect and ever present musical host. Justin's practices of space making and music are intertwined, aligning to create moments for community and catharsis. With Planetarium, he builds a world for letting go together. Rena Anakwe is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, poet, and healer working primarily with sound, visuals, and scent. Exploring intersections between traditional healing practices, spirituality and performance, she creates works focused on sensory-based, experiential interactions using creative technology. She is based in Brooklyn, New York by way of Nigeria and Canada. Rod Modell is a Detroit-born electronic musician and sound artist best known for his work as Deepchord. His music moves between dub techno and ambient composition, often beginning with field recordings he makes on walks after dark. We invited him tonight because of an experience we had earlier this year with his album, Mediterranea. It was after 4am, and we were lying in a budget hotel in Las Vegas, listening to a little bluetooth speaker, and we were utterly transported. We thought, "If he can do this here, imagine what he could do in the loft." We can't wait to find out. - - - - For this edition of Planetarium, to keep prices more manageable for you and us, we're skipping catered dinner. You're welcome to BYO food and drink. We'll open doors at 7pm, and we'll turn the lights down at 8pm. We'll go until midnight. The system in the loft is amazing. Amps and a sub from EM/IA, paired with five Klipschorns. Bring blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, an eye mask and anything else you need to get comfortable and go deep. We do a small amount of reservations so that there's room to lie down. Because we do Planetarium at a private space, we only send the location info to people who reserve space in advance. We'll send out the location from ask@mistersaturdaynight.com on the morning of the session. Make sure to safe list that email address so you receive the notification. Also, before you make your reservation, be sure to check that the email address you have on file with RA is one that you can actually access. If you have not received this email by noon on Friday, November 20th, but have reserved a spot, search your spam, junk, promotions and other folders for an email from ask@mistersaturdaynight.com. The subject is always something like: "Please Read: All The Info For Planetarium". So you know how to plan, we can tell you it's not too far from Nowadays, less than five minutes from the Halsey L. If reservations are unavailable, activate the notification function on this page, and you'll get an email if space becomes available. The resale system opens after all dates in a weekend are sold out and stays active until noon on the day before the event. After that, all reservations have to be final so that we can ensure that everyone who reserves space gets the address. We're looking forward to getting lost in sound with you. Until then...
