DARREN COPELAND . To celebrate the dreamSTATE 12th Anniversary Drone Cycle, Darren Copeland will perform a version of John Cage's Four6 where Max/MSP is automated to make the creative choices in interpreting Cage's four part score. For this performance, the 12 sounds designated for each performer in Four have been edited by Darren Copeland from archival recordings of dreamSTATE's previous 11 drone performances. The 12th sound derives from a mystery source. http://www.darrencopeland.net/ . 9.00 . dreamSTATE with SORCERER . The cycle wouldn't be complete without some didgeridoo in the mix so for the final drone in the cycle, dreamSTATE invited SORCERER (Beau Lukes) to bring along his didgies and some percussive toys to the C Sharp drone. Drones created with wind and hands and augmented by electronics will be a fine way to close out the 2012 Cycle. http://www.dreamstate.to . 10:00 . ~ S E V A ~ (Sorcerer + Sylken + Michael Holcer) Moving the Space ... Arriving for TAP's final 2012 performance before "the end of the world as we know it," this new trio will be performing their first gig at THE AMBiENT PiNG. SORCERER (Beau Lukes) has played hand percussion for over 20 years, and the Didgeridoo for 15 years. He works primarily in electronic landscapes favoring Ambient with a tribal edge; but also works in Electronica, Dance & Industrial and has produced electronic music in its many forms for many people and worked professionally as a studio engineer & producer since 1996. His latest works can be heard in his collective project The Eclipse Project. http://www.eclipsemusicproject.com SYLKEN (Eric Hopper), a veteran of PiNG gigs brings his space-orch foundation to the trio, blending dreamy pads, emo-sensuous solos and edgy atmos. Eric has created / produced several ambient CD projects over the last dozen years and is also a member of the trio SADU. MICHAEL HOLCER merges his ambi-grooves and sonic events to enhance the trio's creative sound sculptures. Michael has been making musical noises for nearly 30 years, growing up in Poland on the Berlin School of Electronic Music (those hypnotic 30-minute sequences and arpeggios) of the seventies and eighties. This collective experience evokes smooth classic elements of ambient synth textures, atmospheres and rhythms, enticing the listener's mind to float, relax, and groove to their space-tribal-vibes. Enjoy !! . GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS . What more can we say about the Chaotic duo Stephen Lindsey and Eric Siegerman? Their light paintings are a huge part of the PiNG's and dreamSTATE's iconography, so how about we just say thanks guys. You've done an awesome job rising to the challenge this year. http://www.generalchaosvisuals.ca . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMiNG SOON: .
