What has become known as "The Ricochet Gathering" is an annual festival of Electronic Music and fun, organized by Vic Rek and several Tadream members.

The first 2 gatherings were at Okefenokee Swamp (reference TD's Phaedra album track), then in the Mojave Desert.

note - this is info on the ORIGINAL Okeefenokee Gathering. It is OLD information. We may get around to updating it with all new info, but until then, contact Vic Rek for any info.

This SwampPack 11 will help cover some of the costs of hosting the event
and will be a great gift for any Tangerine Dream collector.

The price for the SwampPack 11 is 29 Palms, where each Palm is worth
$10.

If more than one person is interested in this package, then I'll have a
lottery, whereby each request gets 'n' number of tickets based on how
many days before the event the request is received. For example, if you
send a request for the package today, you would get 11 tickets, if you
send it on April 9th, you will get one ticket.

This offer ends at 9am April 9th, Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5:00
hours)
