The Ambient Ping presents dropfile + Pholde

["Scott McGregor Moore" <scott@dreamstate.to>]

* Please note - Matt Borghi will not be able to travel from Detroit to
perform this Tuesday so we're happy to be able to "drop" the very
cool new microsound/dub duo, dropfile, into the crowded Ping schedule
and present this intriguing double-bill of bowed steel soundsculptures
from Pholde and the two laptop manipulators of dropfile.

This Tuesday July 16th - dropfile and Pholde (Knurl)

dropfile began as an abstract broken-beat dub microsound alter ego
for Neil Wiernik (aka naw) a little over a year ago. Neil has recently
been joined by the very talented Jakob Thiesen to complete the sound
and vision of the project. Their maiden performance together recently
took place at the OM festival as the two wooed the audience with their
own special brand of broken-beat dub-oriented abstract ambience.

Opening the night is Pholde, the ambient soundscape project of
Alan Bloor, who is also known for his extreme noise project, Knurl.
All of Alan's sounds are created from bowing and striking his unique
steel sculptures which are then treated through guitar effects pedals.
(Alan will have CDs available of some of his Pholde releases.)

Between Sets CD - "Rainbow Dome Musick" (side 2) by Steve Hillage
Side 2 of this classic musical sound environment album features the
"gliss guitar" of Hillage who gained fame with the band Gong in the
70's & who helms the System 7 techno project in the present.
