<a title="Slow Dancing Society" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/">Slow Dancing Society</a> has become an institution in the ambient scene, with each successive album holding true to a core sound while gracefully evolving. Drew Sullivan’s releases are neither by-the-book ambient nor exercises in structuralism, rather music that is birthed from emotion and feeling, then given form. Each song is a soundtrack to a moment; sonic photography painstakingly developed until its emotional hues are brought into focus. His latest EP, <a title="The Dusk Recital Press" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/"><em>The Dusk Recital</em></a>, is a delicious little side-step for the Slow Dancing Society project, as Sullivan employ more beats and overt ’90s dream-pop references.

So without further rambling, we ask Drew to reach into the bag and pull out <a title="Three Questions" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/features/3-questions/">three questions</a>…
<h5>Describe your musical career in 6 words or less</h5>
Hidden Shoal believed in my sound
<h5>What’s your most treasured item of musical gear?</h5>
Omnisphere by Spectrasonics. It is "THE" synth to have. I really don't know what I'd do without that synth. A close second is my Fender Stratocaster. Oh and my Fender Bass VI...ok I can't really name just one, but those 3 are the total foundation of the Slow Dancing Society sound.
<h5>What's the best show you've ever been to?</h5>
There's been a lot of great ones that are still with me today, but I'd have to say <a title="Marilyn Manson" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/marilyn-manson/id251375?uo=4&amp;at=11lRii" target="_blank">Marilyn Manson</a> on the Mechanical Animals tour. This was at the height of his showmanship and I truly loved that album over all of this others as it had that 80's sound before really anyone else was doing it.
