This Tuesday December 9th - Arms Full of Sound

Embark on a musical journey that carries you to far away places
with Paul Needler, aka Arms Full of Sound, as your tour guide.
Using a combination of Virtual Synth, Analog Mono Synth and
Poly Synth (plus a few surprises) an ambient travelogue will be
created. The vision of Arms Full of Sound stems from Paul's
study of early ambient music. Join him on his next journey as
he plays songs from the albums "Pieces of a Larger Experiment"
and his latest "Minework in G".

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"sub.terra" by Various Artists

The latest release from Foundry Records, "sub.terra" is a fascinating 
compilation based around the concept of creating a series of pieces
using only a trumpet as source material. The artists all started with
a set of trumpet recordings and from there processed and treated
the tracks until they came up with the works contained herein.

And a very impressive collection of works it is! Featuring tracks by
Vir Unis, vidnaObmana, Saul Stokes, Michael Bentley and Interstitial,
"sub.terra" provides not only an excellent group of challenging pieces,
it also serves as an introduction to some of the best artists in the
field of electronic music today.

With each of the artists contributing their own interpretations,
each adding their own particular sounds and flavours, "sub.terra"
crosses a wide range of styles and ideals. From the dark drones
of Interstitial, through the percussive groove of Vir Unis, the space
and movement of vidnaObmana, the hypnotic chilled electronics
of Saul Stokes and the dark deep-space explorations of Michael
Bentley, "sub.terra" is an excellent collection, and well worth
checking out.

"sub.terra" is available now through ping things at
