Information for Campers:
Camping tickets are one per person, not one per tent, which means that each person camping must present a camping ticket at the entrance regardless of whether you are sharing a tent. El Cosmico does not provide any camping gear. You will need to bring all gear with you, and note that there are limited resources in Marfa, so you won’t be able to buy camping gear in town. We do provide land to sleep on, a giant night sky to sleep under, basic bathroom facilities, and some barbecues for grilling food if you choose. Due to a fire ban, we will not allow campfires or any open flame.
El Cosmico is a natural terrain that can contain bugs, snakes, cacti, and other thorny plants, and all kind of other things you find in the high plains desert. We recommend boots, flashlight, sunscreen, and a hat. It tends to be warm in the day, but the temperatures fall dramatically at night, so bring layers and warm things to wear and to cover up with.
This happening is the weekend prior to SXSW so if you’re headed to Austin from the west coast come join us on the way!

Lots of love to our supportive friends at: Ballroom Marfa & Marfa Book Co.

DOWNLOAD: TONALISM JINGLE AUDIO COLLAGE BY MATTHEWDAVID
Tonalism is s dusk-to-dawn event inspired by La Monte Young’s “Dream House” as well as the work of musicians and composers such as Terry Riley, Yoko Ono and John Cage. Tonalism combines harmonious textures in a surround sound system with visual elements to create an atmosphere where the audience is encouraged to bring pillows, cushions and sleeping bags to lay down, listen and watch for an extended period of time. DJs, live musicians and video artists play and perform throughout the night; starting at sunset and ending at sunrise. Complimentary tea and water are provided to all who attend.
Open wide to a new world. Expansive radiance awaits in this environment of elevation. We have entered a glowing landscape of transformative tones. The horizon line fades and every edge softens. Natural laws dissolve as we float on pure sound particles. Vibration has become the new vision and your being beams brightly, blurring into harmonic hum with the universe. “You” and “I” are no longer. This is all together. Transformation complete.
