PiNG:03:15:17 THE PiNG presents URM + CULT EYES with visuals by GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS + SM2 @ Handlebar . 159 Augusta Ave . Toronto, ON Canada (Kensington Market) West of Spadina & North of Dundas PiNG doors open at 8:30pm . 1st set at 9:00 . $8-10 . 9:00 . URM . A post-hibernation late winter emergence from his subterranean suburban studio space brings the sequences, sonics and soundscapes of URM back out into the night light of general chaos, to seek out his shadow . . . oh wait that was last month and we're expecting an early spring as a result. The forecast for March is a set jammed full of electronic sequenced goodness with intermittent splashes of spaced out sonic deviations. URM is the solo project of Jamie Todd (also of dreamSTATE, SADU and NOiNO) who first became entangled in the wires of electronic music in 1983 as a founding member of the new wave synth pop project Modern Times (MX) and soon after in 1986 began plugging in with Canadian synthesizer pioneers Radio Silence. Around the century's turn, Jamie's studio began to evolve from a few hardware synthesizers, effect units and piles of wires to include a bounty of software based synths, effects and virtual wires so recordings began to pile up and begat URM.

Using cassette tape loops to restructure narratives that have been ingrained in us, Cult Eyes offers an intense situation that is governed by how much gear can be transported by TTC. An ongoing experiment that is about accomplishing destabilizing tasks and dealing with it live. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMiNG SOON: DRONE:KLUB .
