RADiO iN AMBiENCE Part 2 A special presentation for Deep Wireless in collaboration with New Adventures in Sound Art featuring NOiNO (Jim Bailey, Matthew Poulakakis & Jamie Todd) For part 2 of RADiO iN AMBiENCE, we dial up the third ever performance of NOiNO as Jim Bailey (Odradek and Six Heads), Matthew Poulakakis (Automatic Fats, salvagesound and Solipsystem) and Jamie Todd (dreamSTATE, SADU, Sylken and URM) plug in to appropriate the airwaves. Tune in as NOiNO hunts and gathers radio frequencies plucked from the atmosphere to be coalesced with archival broadcast samples and melded into a evolving repurposed sound construct as it passes through the NOiNO transistors. http://www.pingthings.com/AFmolasses.htm http://www.pingthings.com/SALVAGESOUND.htm http://www.pingthings.com/DSpassage.htm http://www.pingthings.com/URM1.htm http://www.pingthings.com/URM2.htm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

COMiNG Tuesday May 23rd . DAC Crowell (Rankin, IL) Join us next week as we welcome electro acoustic artist DAC Crowell who will be bringing up his modular synth gear to immerse and envelope the PiNG in slowly evolving sounds and drones. It's rather fitting that DAC joins us as we are celebrating the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio Art as DAC has a fondness for utilizing shortwave radio signals as musical instruments. I'm sure DAC will get in the spirit of the event and wire up some radio to the modular for some synthetic shortwave too. Tune in and don't miss this rare Canadian performance by DAC.
