This Tuesday June 10th - Alan Bloor (Pholde/Knurl),
               Aidan Baker (ARC) and Thomas Baker 

Aidan Baker (guitar/looper), Thomas Baker (piano), and Alan Bloor
(amplified metal) return to The Ambient Ping following the
release of their recording 'Terza Rima' on Public Eyesore Records,
which documents their previous visit to the Ping in Oct 2002.
The clash of their respective sounds promises an evening of music
ranging from free-jazz to experimental/ambient to drone-rock to
harsh-noise. A brief descriptive passage from www.AmbiEntrance.org :
"adroitly mutated boogie woogie (and much more) keyboarding
which slips into a feedback fogbank, laced with grinding iron sounds...
awesome powers rage within the billowing blackness (whose
intensity reaches cataclysmic proportions before melting into
softer [though still scarred] after-the-storm environments...sweet!)."

Between Sets CD - "Lost and Found" disc 1 - A Foundry Anthology
"Lost" (disc 1 of this twin CD set) features the works of  the Foundry
label 'founder' Michael Bentley under his name and several project
names: Rhomb, eM, and the Apiary. These angular, yet gentle,
abstract soundworks exist somewhere between glitch and ambience.

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"Loop Studies One" by Aidan Baker

This collection of four movements captures the live grace and form
that has made Aidan Baker so widely regarded in the Toronto
music scene. Pulling tones from the ether as if they were living things,
creating an atmosphere out of the mundane, enveloping the listener
in a womblike security. It takes magic to create an environment as 
rich as this, a space filled with nuance and grace.

With "Loop Studies One" Aidan has proven once again that his work
goes beyond musical into the realm of the alchemical. You need
this kind of magic in your life.
