The premier of Soundscapes was on Saturday, February 16, 2002, at the City of Bethlehem's IceHouse. From spacey ambiences to Berlin School sequences, visiting progressive rock influences along the way, this inaugural event was an impressive debut concert for Orbital Decay. Providing computer generated images as well as virtuoso keyboard and guitar music, Orbital Decay put on a show the likes of which the Lehigh Valley has never seen or heard before.

The sophomore excursion of Soundscapes was on Saturday, June 22, 2002, at the City of Bethlehem's IceHouse. The Ministry of Inside Things, considered to be among the most innovative of EM bands today, did two sets of spacemusic that transported the crowd beyond Earthly boundaries. Tom Shaw provided beautiful ambient music in the lobby when the doors opened and during intermission while Chef Jeff provided a sumptuous dinner buffet upstairs.
