Beta Cloud aims to span the sonic ground between avant/improv/instrumental performance and ambient/drone/dj sound installation. All compositions are performed improvised in real time. Noise, hiss, and dynamic peaks, sub and supersonics are intentional and controlled to ensure a maximum lo-fi listening experience. The aim of Beta Cloud is to provide intensity, relaxation, positive aggression, and a sense of passionate response to all listeners. http://www.myspace.com/thebetacloud . 9.30 . Flowers Of Hell . Based in London and Toronto, the Flowers Of Hell are a trans-Atlantic experimental orchestra who explore the intersecting points of classical & blues-based musical forms. Built around timbre-to-shape synaesthetic visions, their April 2009 CD & LP 'Come Hell Or High Water' features collaborators from the Patti Smith Group, John Cale’s band, Spiritualized, Broken Social Scene, & others. Pete ‘ Sonic Boom’ Kember of Spacemen 3 & E.A.R. has mentored them through their two albums, and after catching a number of London shows, Kevin Shields had them open for My Bloody Valentine last fall. With an eight member line up, they will be eschewing their regular set for a special AMBiENT PiNG performance of ‘Swings And Roundabouts’, a semi- structured/semi-improvised work lasting 30 - 40 mins. The piece is a journey through layers of drones rising, falling, & evolving, while strings, horns, & woodwinds exchange solos overtop, interspersed with feedback guitar, orchestral drums, singing saw, and various tremeloed instruments. http://www.flowersofhell.com . General Chaos Visuals will provide the eye candy for the evening by painting the walls and the performers with their unique brand of light art. http://www.generalchaosvisuals.com . Between Sets CDs .
