. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hi Everyone! Join us for some Geeks, the Devil and Chaos as we host an eastern PiNG at The Renaissance Café which is another fine pro art space suited to the PiNG. There's room to socialize with comfy chairs, a couch or two and a small patio out front. Plus there's more couches up near the performance space for those who want to focus in on the good friends we've invited to perform. In between are tables and chairs along the bar which has great beer on tap plus gourmet coffee and munchies available. For those who haven't been yet, The Renaissance Café is located on the north side of the Danforth just a bit west of the Woodbine Subway station on the Bloor/Danforth line. So head east young PiNGers as we're really looking forward to seeing y'all again! ~ Cheers, Scott M2 and Jamie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For July 16th, Phil Ogison (The Devil In The Design) is presenting four works entitled, 'Behind the seen'. The concept for this project is an exploration of situationist views of landscape and structures in a historical framework. These pre-recorded/live element works are comprised of found sound collected around the Toronto Harborfront and archival spoken word samples, digitally manipulated and arranged with the addition of live electric guitar and keyboard synthesizer. For this occasion, ten limited edition studio copies of 'Behind the seen' will be available for the price of $5.00 each. The event will be recorded live in both audio and digital video format, to be made available at a later date online. This project is part of an forthcoming co-release with Hotel Nuclear / AZT (Ronconfreddo I, Berlin D, and Noyon Fr), a project of Martha Zapparoli (penelope x) and Giancarlo Bianchini (AZT) part of the "Arto-Zat" group, a cultural association concerned with promotions of artistic research and is composed of artists, musicians, video makers. http://www.myspace.com/ogison http://www.myspace.com/hotelnuclear http://www.myspace.com/thedevilinthedesign .
