Tuesday March 11th - The Godawful Noise The Godawful Noise visit the Ping for a third time, bringing their blend of improvised atonal analogue textures and easy-going digital beats to bear on your evening. The sound is infused with washy backdrops, gentle bleeps and surprising bursts of sonic glitchwork that wander independently, developing into happy accidents and frightening surprises in equal measure. The perfect backdrop to friends, conversation and a night in from the cold. http://bbcr.uwaterloo.ca/%7Edfevans/godawfulnoise/ Between Sets CD - "Les Landes" by The Widening Gyre (2002) These gentle tonescapes, from The Widening Gyre project of Toronto musician Ryan Hagerman, seduce with their charm and sparce beauty.

On his latest release "Les Landes" he creates pieces of great beauty and wonder where tones float together seamlessly, and silence is just as important as the notes it surrounds. From the opening track "scene" with it's sparse introduction and subtle use of percussion, through "edit" which sweeps and flows just underneath your perception, to the subtle charms of "breathe", one can't help but be swept away in a wave of bliss that grows and deepens as the disc continues. The delicate strains of "borealis", the hypnotic rhythms of "riga" - you get lost in this disc, hypnotized, mesmerized, beguiled. Ryan Hagerman is a man who appreciates the beauty of simplicity and listening to this disc, I know that the world is a better place for it. "Les Landes" by The Widening Gyre is onsale now at www.PiNGTHiNGS.com for $17.50 cdn (shipping included) rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com - http://www.pingthings.com Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to hear about *all* the latest releases on sale at PiNG THiNGS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
