This Wednesday January 26th - Wally Jericho with SPROG >From beyond the outskirts of the Urban Universe, Wally Jericho returns via the homing beacon of THE AMBiENT PiNG's new landing site. As Jericho Station makes this exciting journey at aaa-amazing vvv-velocities using the braking power of the closest and heaviest object (Kensington Moon) to the unknowable C*O*R*E (city ordinaces requirements and expanses), Ambient-TV will lauch a fully functional probe packed with video tape to sync and attach to Jericho Station as they use the "sling shot" effect to gently land and deploy at the Tequila Space Lounge near the Annex Rings. This new and exciting venue is a popular favorite of many electro-acoustic- human-oid beings. So, install those new toliet seatbelts to keep you safe, as you won't want to miss a milliseciond of live Action Drama as it unfolds in uncharted,unseen alien mindscapes.

Caught in a mid-January deep-freeze, this Torontonian was reminded of warmer climes as the Faceless Forces presented a surrealistic video road trip accompanied by a propulsive, effects-driven soundtrack in their first set. Creating a visual ambience that developed from looping retro black & white images of the open road with infusions of psychedelic color, the Faceless Forces' first set reminded the audience of good things to come with out of the blue/green images of butterflies and flowers - the stuff of hot, hazy summer days. Grounded by a pulsing soundscape and driven by undercurrents of lyricism, their performance transformed TAP into a nexus of possibility. This sense of possibility was realized as the video images arrived in a landscape rife with big city flashing lights. Devolving into images of random text, the aural dimension was reinforced by an intermittent visual through-line of frequency indication. All in all, despite my regret for having missed the second set, this journey was a fit respite from a cold winter's night. Always of the moment, PiNG organizers are also looking to spring - and summer - with plans of a June "living room" concert by James Johnson. While the details are still being finalized, the event promises to be an intimate highlight of the 2005 PiNG concert series.

An epic and lush body of work, "In the Vale of the New Year" travels through a spectrum of sounds and styles ranging from guitar driven tribal stomps, to dark ceremonial marches made under the winter's sky, to more meditative pieces featuring sparse and delicate piano work. A truly wonderful release by a truly wonderful talent. rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com http://www.pingthings.com = ambient + electronic + chill things Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com for updates on *all* the latest releases on sale at ping things . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
