This Tuesday November 12th 2002 - James Johnson
      with dreamSTATE and Wally Jericho

Renowned ambient artist James Johnson travels from Chicago for
his third foray to The Ambient Ping. This trip he has invited Toronto
soundscape artists dreamSTATE (electronics, loops) & Wally Jericho
(trumpet, bass, loops, electronics) to join him for his performance.
Soundscape improvisations & pools of ambient stillness will be
criss-crossed with rippling grooves, urban injections & fractal chaos.
Johnson is a very prolific artist and many of his new CDs will be
available for sale at PiNG THiNGS during this special show.
