This Tuesday Sept.14th - Wendy Atkinson & vinyl vandal

Vancouver's Wendy Atkinson opens the night with a solo
bass set. Her new CD "Trim" is a bass-only album recorded
using only electric, acoustic and double bass. Using only
bass, an instrument that is generally used as the rhythmic
background of most music, she has created a CD that is
atmospheric and vivid. "Plucking some notes while letting
others swell up from silence, concocting thick, bowed drones
and slow-moving fuzz-toned atmospheres, deploying radio
static and seasick glissandos, she takes us places no chops
monster could ever access - and although dark, the ride is
fascinating." Georgia Straight: Vancouver's Entertainment Weekly

"vinyl vandal is a Scottish-based drone ambient laptop performer
who incorporates elements of techno and idm as well as noise
to create a more rhythmic and eclectic live set. for his ping
set he will be doing a more improvised set than normal and
this show will finish up his current canadian tour which has
spanned toronto, winnipeg, saskatoon and vancouver."

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"Spacenoiz"

Tribal rhythms float throughout, a wave of feedback
passes by, noises fade in and out like some distant
alien radio. This is the sound of Spacenoiz.

The latest project by Jim Field, Spacenoiz continues
the exploration of styles and sounds that have characterized
his earlier work. With a keen ear for the synthesis of tones
and an attention to the spaces that surround the notes,
Jim has created a focussed work possessed of a
variety of constantly shifting shapes and textures.
A journey to the stars and back. Essential.
