Toronto (NW corner, upstairs across from the Bathurst subway station) Doors open at 9pm . 1st set at 9:30 . PayWhatYouCan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THiS Tuesday July 11th . Canartic and InsideAMind Austin's Jon Coats and Randall Peterson formed Canartic with bass player Gerard Smith in 2002. Canartic utilize dub and downtempo styles as guides to collage electronic shapes around simple grooves. The chilled results are then injected with a dose of psychedelia, courtesy of heavily processed guitar. Finally, samples round out the mix, providing listeners with hints to the ideas behind the music. Live, Canartic perform as a duo, with Coats dub mixing in real time from hard disk, and Peterson adding treatments and his processed guitar. http://www.dankdisk.com As the definition of the word "DJ" continues to expand, INSIDEaMIND emerges in Toronto as a four man scratch band, further stretching artistic boundaries by performing live original compositions with vinyl. The scratch musicians, as they call themselves, bring forth a unique angle to what a group of DJ's/Producers armed with instruments called turntables can create. By developing outside the often limiting battle-oriented mindframe that scratching is too often associated with, the crew is bringing new life to this ever evolving artform. http://insideamind.net . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Before Sets CD . "The Truth In Me" by Roger O'Donnell This week we feature former Cure keyboardist Roger O'Donnell's splendid solo record which was inspired by and created with a Moog Voyager synthesizer. Definitely not a concept album, rather a concept for an album as it was a re-visiting of his early days of composing using limited equipment, but now with 25 years of influence and experience to draw upon. It's definitely a voyage worth taking. http://www.rogerodonnell.com Between Sets CD . "Momentium" by Jeffrey Koepper Visit http://www.pingthings.com/KOEPPERmomentium.htm to find out more about this week's between set CD and tune in to ping things radio every Sun & Wed from 9pm to 12 midnight EST at http://www.ambientpingradio.com to hear music from this and other discs in the ping things catalogue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMiNG Tuesday July 18th . GeekWeekend featuring Robert Hoare (Berlin, Germany) and Steven Sauvé (Hamilton, ON) with Eric St-Laurent After a year's absence from the bright lights, Geek Weekend (Rob Hoare and Steven Sauvé) returns for another evening of slightly ludicrous, but wholly entertaining noises. They will also be welcoming intrepid guitarist Eric St-Laurent for an added touch of badly needed class. Geek Weekend? Two brains, two computers, and virtually no restraint! And a guitar too! Come and hear cryptic phrases and mysterious pronouncements. Thrill to the ambiguity of the English language. Smoke (outside of course)! Drink! And be kind to each other.
