This Tuesday August 26th 2003 - Tomasz Krakowiak with Mike Hansen, Aidan Baker & DJ Blameshifter plus sin(theta) Tomasz Krakowiak (amplified drum table, minidisc live sampling) brings along his friends Aidan Baker (guitars, loops, electronics), Mike Hansen (record players, electronics) and DJ Blameshifter (laptop, visuals) to load the Ping's stage with subtle sonic mayhem. http://www3.sympatico.ca/krakowiak Opening the night, David McCallum (sin(theta)), also a member of LEARK, wants to shorten the distance between music & musician in the laptop realm. It should sound like it doesn't come from a laptop: hands-on music with none of that removed rigidity. Expect ambient to electroacoustic minimalism. Catch this local before he moves to Sweden in September and transforms into unforgiveable Eurotrash! http://mentalfloss.ca/sintheta Between Sets CD: "Over Ruins" by Jeff Greinke (Projekt - 1996) Dark subterranean soundscapes from American composer Greinke, which were originally released on cassette & vinyl in 1984/86 and later re-released on the "Over Ruins / Moving Climates" CD. http://www.hypnos.com/greinke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It's all about finding the details. And "Mandela" by Foy is filled with details, filled with charm, filled with beauty. Disc opener De Cirkel paints an aural landscape using slow sweeping pads that lie underneath a percolating, expanding rhythm track gradually building and growing. Track three, Zacht Licht uses sparse piano and drums to create a delicate and fragile beauty. Slowly melting into track 4, Versplinterde, the same minimal instrumentation continues taking on a certain melancholy tone to it, but maintaining the same beguiling nature as it's earlier parts. And so it goes... Pulsing and dreaming, "Mandela" by Foy creates an environment where sound washes through the mind and light percussion keeps time with the beating of your heart. A truly beautiful experience both in terms of sound and in the resultant atmospheres. rik maclean - - rik@pingthings.com This month at http://www.pingthings.com - an exclusive interview with Mercurine plus the ping things *massive* first anniversary sale...
