THE AMBiENT PiNG http://www.theambientping.com Free - Every Tuesday Night - doors open at 9pm - 1st set at 9:30 @ club nia / C'est What - 19 Church St. at Front St. - Toronto 3 blocks east of the Union Station subway. map - http://www.cestwhat.com/map.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This Tuesday March 23rd - Faceless Forces Of Bigness The Faceless Forces of Bigness is an experimental audio/video collective focused on exploring the musical and visual narrative possibilities of improvisation in a random generative environment. Combining instrumentless sound creation, modular synthesizers, electronic filtering, feedback and video projection, each member performs by shepherding the sound and video through an organic and often unpredictable series of parameters. The result is a show that is always a surprise for both performers and audience. * Note - FFOB is planning on performing in quadrophonic sound so those of you who appreciate that kind of thing should plan on arriving early to grab seats in the "sweet spot". Between Sets CD - "The Sinking Of The Titanic" by Gavin Bryers A spiraling small-ensemble piece evoking the feeling of the band on the Titanic slowing sinking into the ocean as they continue to play the hymn Autumn into eternity. (We'll play the 1994 Point Music release - not the 1975 Obscure Music version.) http://www.gavinbryars.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Utilizing the Reason software system Jamie has created a lush and emotional series of soundscapes linked conceptually by recent world events. Unlike it's predecessor, "Hush..." uses shorter pieces of differing thematic natures to tell it's story, and while maintaining a link in terms of sound, each piece retains a distinct personality and identity indicative of a particular instant. From the quiet movement of "Dawn" into the shifting and evolving darkness of "Pillars Crumble Into Chaos", through to the slow pulse of closing track "New American Century", "Hush on the Peace Terrain" brilliantly captures the effects that current events have had on all of us. A very moving collection of songs, and a very impressive addition to the Synthphonics series. rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com Steve Roach is currently the Featured Artist at ping things.
