THiS THURS. FEB. 26TH . THE PiNG presents FREEZE AVOiDANCE
with Ortiz + quasiMODAL (cheryl o, Eric St-Laurent & Steven Sauvé)
@ The Renaissance Café . 1938 Danforth Avenue . north side, 
    2 blocks west of the Woodbine Subway . Map and directions 
    at: http://www.renaissancecafe.ca/map.htm 
    PiNG doors open at 8pm . 1st set is at 8:30 . $6
    
. Ortiz blends found sounds, bubbling static, synthesizer 
malfunctions and guitar noodling, exploring melancholy melodies 
and lonely notes to create ghostly soundscapes that evoke dub 
and folk music in equal measures. His live performances take 
the listener on a dreamy ride, recalling pastoral landscapes and 
haunted woods, crescendos building and receding as gentle 
guitars and far-away vocals drift in and out of the mix. Ortiz 
has self-released several albums of material, in addition 
to releases on Vague Terrain and ping things, which
can be downloaded at ortiz.ca
http://www.ortiz.ca

. Joining us for the second set will be the return of quasiMODAL
featuring cheryl o, Eric St-Laurent & Steven Sauvé for an
exquisite evening of cello, guitar and keys feed through a 
variety of efx and loopers. Joining quasiMODAL on drums for 
this gig will be Daniel Gaucher, a recent recruit to Toronto who 
has spent the last 8 years deeply involved in various music 
communities in Vancouver.
