Mixing live instrumentation/synthesis and sequencing, his live sets create a modern wall of sound. http://www.iderdown.com https://soundcloud.com/iderdown . 9:30 . naw is the alter ego of Neil Wiernik, Montreal ex-pat who now calls Toronto home. He began composing electronic music in the late 80s with explorations in audio art and experimental music. Neil's interest in sound and technology has lead him to a continued questioning and refinement of audio tools and modes of production resulting in experimentation with altered instruments, modified devices, and custom software environments. Neil's music could be described as warm, atmospheric, and cinematic electronic music. The sound design of naw is firmly grounded in the rich traditions of dub studio culture but can also be weighed alongside formal contemporary composition. His music was recently described in "The Wire" as having "...the kind of sharpness and clarity usually lost amid the murk and decay of clicks and cuts and digital delays." naw is Post Dub Minimalism. naw has released music on various labels including noise factory, paperplussound, pertin-nce, feedbackloop, blrr, consouling and elevation recordings as a solo artist; under his own name or using various pseudonyms, such as naw, as well as part of various band projects. www.phoniq.net .10:30 . JFM is the moniker of nomadic collage artist Jesse Frank Matthews. Sampling sounds from the sonic ether, and recycling memories and matter into new shapes before stitching them back together. Crafting the music with a simple sampler, an overactive imagination and a curiosity in juxtaposition. Part plunderphonic, and part psychedelic-the pieces of the puzzle sometimes fit and sometimes they don't. With JFM the ride is as important as the destination, music belongs to everyone and has no fixed address. The door is always open. http://jfm3.bandcamp.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMiNG SOON: . Saturday May 9th 2015 . PiNG:05:09:15 .

URM + General Chaos Visuals - LiVE PiNG 2014 11 25 A little something to bring a bit of the PiNG to a screen near you - a full length HD video of the URM set with General Chaos Visuals from the November 2014 PiNG. In the video, URM performs ambient electronic soundscapes and sequencer driven Berlin School electronics to the light painting projections of General Chaos Visuals live at the PiNG in Toronto's Array Space. All music was generated in real time utilizing a virtual studio of synthesizers, effect units and step sequencers. Light paintings were also projected and created in real time utilizing hand painted gels and analog projectors. As the show was captured with a single camera there's a lot of chaotic compositing of the Chaos Visuals and light paintings which makes it a very psychedelic experience - like a concert being held inside a lava lamp.
