DJ Mind Motion Tickets

DJ Mind Motion has been a household name in the San Francisco music industry for over three decades. He is widely renowned for his prolific work as a producer, radio host, and DJ. What some people may not know about him, however, is his contribution to the theater scene in San Francisco.

In his early career, DJ Mind Motion’s passion and influence in music garnered the attention of local theater groups. They quickly realized his talent extended beyond the turntables, allowing for him to create innovate and engaging sound scores.

Theater requires an intricate combination of sights and sounds to truly captivate its audiences. A play or musical must transport viewers to their desired destination without the aid of physical movement. In conjunction with inspiring set designs, lighting, and acting, the music brings the audience emotionally closer to the story. The importance of everything coming together harmoniously to tell the story effectively can hardly be overstated.

That’s where DJ Mind Motion comes in. While many modern performances rely on already popular music to set the tone, Mind Motion works mainly with original music. He has crafted captivating and powerful soundtracks for various productions like San Francisco Running Crew's "Crack Attack," Ed Mock’s spiritual dance troop, "Dance Brigade" and "Vapor Trails," a play that explores the impacts of gentrification on marginalized communities.

Regardless if it's creating a somber mood through ambient soundscapes or inciting excitement through rhythmic energy, DJ Mind Motion ensures that the music conveys the essence of each production flawlessly.

His experience working with stage productions is both extensive and diverse. The use of space, the context of the story and the time period are some of the elements Mind Motion considers when composing music.

Moreover—he is capable of going beyond the norm and transcending traditional means of performance enhancement. There are instances where he has deconstructed music and voice recordings to create something entirely new. This technique is often referred to as “sound editing.''

DJ Mind Motion’s contribution to theater has not gone unnoticed. He has been recognized for his work on the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay awards and is continually sought out by local and international theater groups.

In an interview with SFist, DJ Mind Motion said, "It's always more challenging to do music specifically for something that people are going to sit and watch all day...It gives me a chance to flex my muscles a little bit musically and not just be confined to playing what you hear every day."

Indeed, his work reflects this attitude, he is always able to produce something unique that elevates any given production. His ability to produce dynamic, original scores in a timely manner is a testament to his expertise and earned him his solid reputation in the Bay Area and beyond.
