Reflections is honored to present an evening with Venice-based ambient composer Gigi Masin. Known for his magnificent releases on Music From Memory and Sacred Bones, Masin conjures a world as timeless as it is transcendent.
Since his self-released LP Wind in 1986, Masin has been sampled by artists such as Björk and Post Malone, a testament to his universal, ethereal vision. Prepare yourself for a magical evening, shrouded in projection-mapped light at this historic church.
Gigi Masin
Gigi Masin is a multi-instrumentalist whose sound has evolved through landscapes of ambient, jazz, and electronic dance music. His work takes the listener into a realm of contemplation, a spellbound mind state where time and space appear to dissolve.
In 1986 Masin created Wind, an all-time ambient masterpiece. Self released and given away for free, Masin thought he’d made a jazz record; others called it ambient, but few really listened. He released Les Nouvelles Musiques De Chambre Volume 2 in 1989 with This Heat’s Charles Hayward, which would go on to be sampled by Björk and To Rococo Rot, but at the time, it hardly registered. No matter. Masin had moved on, working as a postal manager, living with his wife and kids and making music at the edges of the day for theatre productions and poetry readings.
In 2014, Masin was approached out of the blue by Amsterdam-based label Music From Memory to release Talk To The Sea. It was a compilation of his music, including material from Wind and the handful of recordings from the intervening decades that displayed the breadth of his talents, from zither and trumpet to synthesizers and radio sampling. In 2014, with Jonny Nash and Young Marco, Masin formed Gaussian Curve, an ambient supergroup that received international acclaim.
Movement, released in 2026 on Sacred Bones, is his next act. The tracks here are dynamic, draped in ambient hues but propelled by the vitality inherent to all great dance music. He describes it as “music for moving the body” or rhythm music for the romantic soul, reintroducing Masin on his own terms.
Immanuel Presbyterian Church
Designed by Los Angeles architect Chauncey Fitch Skilling and modeled after French Gothic cathedrals, Immanuel Presbyterian Church was completed in 1929 in what’s now known as LA’s Koreatown district. The building's stone-clad corner tower soars 205 feet above Wilshire, supported by a steel frame that allows for a strikingly spacious interior. The building is an ADA accessible space.
