The Ambient Ping presents SOFTWARE with Toastybird Visuals



I know Bret (Plexus) from SOFTWARE is on the LD list and
that the stage will be piled will Electrix gear & I think an EDP.
There's a nice photo from their previous show here at:

This Tuesday Dec. 10th - SOFTWARE with Toastybird Visuals

Plexus (synthesizers) and Paul Asselin (guitars) often transform
what are considered traditional musical genres & their most recent
collaborations could be called 'techno-jazz'. With an entourage
of vintage and modern electronics, SOFTWARE will be performing
their continuous-musical-experience with an ambient approach
in this evening of exploration. Look for SOFTWARE's new DVD
of surround-sound and visuals from their previous AMBiENT PiNG
performance at the PiNG THiNGS music boutique. There's some
cool photos from that night @ http://www.oldbmw.com/technojazz

Between Sets CD - "The Butterfly Chamber" by James Johnson
Johnson's deep ambient textures are blended with violin from
Susan Johns and accoustic and electric guitar by Christopher
Short (Ma Ja Le) to produce a misty musical melange.
(Hypnos - 2002) - (Available at PiNG THiNGS)

rik maclean's PiNG THiNGS' CD REViEWs

"Iroquois" by Multiplex

Firmly entrenched in both mood and space, "Iroquois" by Multiplex
is a fine example of glitch-driven genius. The fifteen songs collected
on this disc take influences from a variety of styles and fabricate them
into something fresh and new, a textured landscape of sounds running
the gamut from charming to chilling and back again. Mixing both digital
and analog sounds together in a perfectly blended synthesis, Multiplex
have put together both an inspired and inspiring work in "Iroquois". One 
can't help but get lost in "The Monitors", a dark and dreary journey
through claustrophobic spaces, or "Mainline" with it's strangled beatz
and it's grande jete towards the precipice of danger, just before turning
around and running back to Coolsville. And of course there's a remix
of "Angles" filled with percolating rhythms and flowing shapes that
stay in your head long into the night.

"Iroquois" by Multiplex is available now at PiNG THiNGS for $15

"Iroquois" is part of the Piehead Records subscription series.
