WINDERMERE . Michael Thompson, known as DJ Polyphonic, was a promoter with Soundsphere during the heyday of the rave era, bringing The Black Dog, Mixmaster Morris and a mini version of The Orb to Toronto, as well as the Darkwood guerrilla ambient events in Serena Gundy Park and the infamous Samhain in Wasteland event, held in an abandoned building on Halloween 1998. Now entirely focused on production, he has chosen the moniker Windermere for ambient and electronic musics. . 10:00 . VESPAZIANI/DAVISON . Bob Vespaziani is a freelance drummer/percussionist, who is very active in both the Blues and Improvisational music scenes in Canada. Bob's main axe is the Korg WAVEDRUM which he plays though various electronic effects, expanding the instrument's potential texturally as well as rhythmically. William Davison is a multi-disciplinary artist and electroacoustic improvisor who has been active in Toronto's underground, experimental, noise, and improvised music communities for 25 years. He mainly uses homemade instruments, amplified objects and minimal electronic effects to create his surprisingly varied and surreal soundscapes. .

Throw in a new sequencer and some synth software to explore and out channeled something new from the suburban subterranean studio that URM calls home. Warning: Tech talk for all you studio, synth and sequencer geeks out there. This piece was created in Bidule with six iterations of Tonecarver's MBIRAGEN midi sequencer driving six soft synths (Aalto, Obxd, Moog Modular V and MonoPoly x 3) with Jamstix kicking out the drums. Mixed and mastered in Reaper with Ozone, Alloy and RX. This is the first in a series of URM studio explorations to be released to the PiNG LiST in 2014. Get them while you can as each piece will be replaced with a fresh piece uploaded for the next month's PiNG. Don't worry if you miss any of them as they will later be collected together into an LP which will also include 5.1 surround sound versions. CryMeA Shiver is copyright Jamie Todd 2014.
