Improvising a deep flow of layered ambience containing elements of glitch, dub, field recordings and ambient noise. http://www.mp3.com/jammingsignal Between Sets CD - "FLUID - disc 1" by Jonathan Hughes/subspace A 2 CD set conceived to be played on 2 decks, with each 8 minute track designed to be compatible with any track on the opposite disc. (We used to play this set regularly at the previous Ping location at Po Boys Club on the twin CD decks, but here at nia we can only feature one disc at a time. The music still stands well on its own, as you'll hear...) http://darius.pce.net/subspace/subspace.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Utilizing samples and field recordings from previous works and reinterpreting them in the context of a new theme, "Elapsed Time" presents seven pieces all reflecting the nature of one of history's most troubled and conflicted times. The disc utilizes a wide variety of sounds to capture the period, ranging from deep resonant drones to passages of subtle beauty contrasting with washes of noise and turmoil. A fascinating study both in the creation of environment, and as a retrospective of Behrens' work. 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
