This Tuesday November 26th 2002 - SYLKEN

Returning for their final performance of 2002, Sylken's Eric Hopper
(synthesizers) with guest artists Steve Sauve (synths & loops) and
cheryl o (treated cello & loops) will traverse rhythmic territories and
fluidic textures to bend and caress your ears with their edgy,
yet symphonic, sonic landscapes and atmospheres.
(Look for Sylken's "Illusions Of Light" CD at PiNG THiNGS.)

Deep, slow moving,  tonescapes created by ten trombones led by
