WEDNESDAY MAY 27TH . THE PiNG presents
RADiO iN AMBiENCE a special presentation for Deep Wireless
in collaboration with New Adventures in Sound Art featuring
Kristen Roos with Anna Friz + Nilan Perera
@ THE NAISA SPACE . Artscape Wychwood Barns
   601 Christie Street . (2 blocks south of St. Clair W.)
   Studio #252  (Look for a sign outside the W side of the bldg)
   PiNG doors open at 8pm . 1st set is at 8:30 . $6

. Kristen Roos is an artist whose approach to creating sound art
usually involves a translation, or change, from one state to another.
Objects normally used to bring information in a particular way are
repurposed, and reconstructed into new vibrating forms. These
temporary structures hope to inspire infinite interpretations for the
objects and spaces that make up the world around us.

Ferry Crossing Interpreted & Vinegar Factory One by Kristen Roos
and Anna Friz. This performance will consist of two fifteen-minute
pieces. The first is based on a score that Kristen created from a
collage of field recordings gathered on Vancouver Island, Cortes
Island and the ferry between Cortes Island and Quadra Island.
Together they will recreate this Ferry Crossing using a theremin,
radios, and various amplified objects. The second piece originates
from a performance at the Vinegar Factory in Vancouver, for bowed
fire bells, amplified wire brush, tape recorder, theremin, harmonica,
kazoo, and radios.

. Nilan Perera is a sonic explorer and improviser whose work
expands the language and techniques of experimental electric guitar
performance. In his unusual approach to the guitar, Perera utilizes
preparations of assorted paraphernalia such as swizzle sticks, paper
clips, metal brushes and the like, as well as feedback and a variety
of electronic effects.

. Between Sets CD - "erebus & terror" by David Bickley & Tom Green
NAISA founder Darren Copeland created a soundtrack for the radio
drama "Erebus & Terror" by Gwendolyn MacEwen. This is an alternate,
more ambient impression of the ill-fated Franklin naval expedition
of 1845 as a "dark, brooding atmospheric album painting".
