This Tuesday January 21st - MCF An interesting blend of organic and electronic improvisation/trance, MCF is Michael Keith (bass, lap steel, classsical guitar, electronics, toys, loops & voice) and David Sait (electric guitar, unusual found or made noisemakers & electronics). At one point MCF creates the sounds you'd expect from a full tilt rowdy ensemble, and at other moments they're tapping into delicate passages of dreamy duo conversation. This will also be a CD release party! http://www.michaelkeith.com Between Sets CD - "Collected Ambient & Textural Works 1977-1987" by Michael Stearns (Fathom - 1996) Besides creating a large body of music for IMAX soundtracks, theatre, documentaries and planetarium shows, Michael Sterns has released an excellent series of ambient/space music albums.

Subtle textures and oblique movement permeate throughout the disc creating a shimmering cocoon that enshrouds the listener, drawing them deeper into an otherworldly state of being. Light percussion passes through leaving ripples and vapor trails behind in their wake. A passing flute, or is it something more exotic? Other sounds float by, caressing you as you drift further and further away from the physical world and into this new land of wonder. A sheer delight from start to end. "Seed" is onsale now at PiNG THiNGS for $20 To hear samples from the disc visit http://www.zeromusic.net rik maclean - torment@corpusnet.com Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to hear about all the latest releases on sale at PiNG THiNGS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
