This Tuesday October 26th - spacenoiz with Wally Jericho

Spacenoiz sprang from the subconscious and computer of
composer/sound designer/multi-instrumentalist Jim Field.
Known as much for his film / tv / internet scoring work as for
co-founding Rhea's Obsession & stillcoiled (with brilliantfish),
Jim's solo project spacenoiz is a fusion of ambient / middle-
eastern / processed guitar-loop work, as well as Turkish oud,
Indian sarangi, computer-based processing, chilled beats and
Reaktor weirdness. This performance will feature tracks from
the up coming spacenoiz cd "The Mirror of Her Eyes".

For the second set of the evening, spacenoiz proudly welcomes 
multi-instrumentalist Wally Jericho (looping trumpet and bass)
to the stage for a set of improvised ambience in true PiNG style.

"Mandala for Chaos" by Embracing the Glass

Shimmering. That's the first thing that comes to mind when
I think of "Mandala for Chaos" by Embracing the Glass.
Shimmering, floating, sweeping tones passing by the senses
while subtle vocals glide through your perceptions. Rising,
swelling, like the crest of a wave tugging you deeper into its
grasp. Transcendent, inspired, a womb-like serenity.

Starting with slowly building pads paired with subtle vocals,
opening track "Around" ebbs and flows like nighttime waves
on a lonely beach. Growing in strength with each pass the
waves grow more powerful, their pull becomes stronger and
what was only a distant image a few moments ago now
surrounds you.

Track two "Chasm of Faith" brings to mind a tranquil lake
where drops of water make ever-expanding ripples throughout.
Somber strings float past the senses while a vocal line made
strong through it's restraint brings to mind the mournful call of 
sirens to unsuspecting sailors. One can't help but become
mesmerized by their charms.

"Great Lakes Chain Gang" places the vocals more prominently
in the mix, a layering of looped lines building on top of each
other to create a tapestry of voices. At times this track reminds
me of Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance, something about the
voice, the intonation, the phrasing. Cool stuff.

Closing track "Mandala for Chaos" uses harmonic pads as
a backdrop for further vocal stylings, a beautiful blend of
sounds that flow and melt into each other creating a
beautiful spiral of sound. Simply breathtaking.

Shimmering.  That's the first thing that comes to mind when
I think of "Mandela for Chaos" by Embracing the Glass.
Something liquid, shining in the light, shifting and flowing,
almost alive.  Shimmering.  Lovely.  Yes.
