Kalte . Deane Hughes of Akumu and rik maclean of mara's torment are pleased to present their collaborative ambient/abstract project Kalte as part of THE AMBiENT PiNG's 10th anniversary celebrations. The music of Kalte crosses a range of electronic sub-genres including zero-bpm, musique concréte and deep ambient to produce dense and eerie soundscapes. Using the process of improvised tonal manipulation found on their releases "The Lanthanide Series" (Stasisfield, 2008) and "Glaciations" (Dark Winter, 2009), Deane and rik will be sharing Kalte's musical vision of isolation and darkness in a live setting for the very first time. Also in celebration of the PiNG's 10th, Deane is releasing his new DVD from AKUMU, "Tapeten: Video Anthology 2005-2008." The DVD is a collection of experimental and abstract videos spanning 3 years of AKUMU's visuals, re-mixed in 5.1 surround sound and available for the first time at the PiNG!
