PWYC (5$ suggested) Please note the later start time of 9PM. . SYZYGIA . The project of Harrison Dahme, dealing with the ambient and atmospheric. . SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY . Sleep Research Facility explores notions of awareness and perception in the sub/unconcious listener. Focusing primarily on sound bereft of rhythm based energies, SRF's goal is to provide listening environments wherein the music simply adds texture to the silence. A kind of "play me quiet" sound suitable for listening to actively or passively depending on circumstances, creating an aural experience which guides the mind through gentle misdirection rather than forcing its attention, allowing listeners to drift in their own diversified thoughts. . ORTIZ . Laurier Brown finds the crinkly, skittering nuggets in the white noise. His first Ortiz release The Crinkle and its Faces was an exploration of glitchy layered noise-scapes, almost undetectable beats mingled with hiss and static. Dark dreams for long winter nights put to tape, digitized, randomized, spliced, split up, spit out. His second release, Salvage, further digs into the sonic subconscious, carving subterranean passages under ancient roots planted in the psycho-spiritual mulch. Hooves draws from the ghosts left behind in the cracking pavement where the groves once grew, remembering great herds, drifting past gulls flying out to sea. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Please note that the January 29th 2008 show will be the last regular AMBiENT PiNG TUESDAY for a while as The Drake Hotel will no longer be opening its Underground venue on Sunday and Tuesday nights. Sadly this means that effective February 2008, we will be putting the regular monthly PiNG club shows on hiatus as we regroup and plot future endeavours. In the meantime, wish us luck as we look for new spaces. If you have any suggestions about places that might be suitable for the PiNG then please feel free to email us venue names and/or addresses care of bookings@theambientping.com We'll check them out and be back with more LiVE AMBiENT PiNG EVENTS soon.
