8:45 . JAKOB THIESEN . This Toronto based musician and sound
designer has been exploring electronic and acoustic sound for over
10 years. Jakob's love for film is apparent in all his works, his
numerous independent music releases and his film and television
sound design for filmmakers have all focused on the malleability
of sound and the emotional and cerebral impacts that entail.
Although it's been a number of years since Jakob last performed
at the PiNG, he was a regular in the early PiNG years performing
as Self Service and as part of the fabled AMBiENT PiNG ORCHESTRA.
In more recent times, Jakob provided the PiNG with a tape of his
visuals which we regularly played when the Chaos guys took the
night off. For his upcoming set at the PiNG, he'll be performing
his recent ambient audio and visual explorations.
9:45 . DEB SINHA and BEN GROSSMAN: field . Ben and Deb
have wide backgrounds as performers, composers, improvisers,
sound designers and, in Deb's case, video artists. For years,
they have been discussing their history in traditional and
'world' music in light of their interests in new music, sound
art, improvisation and experimental sound and video. Having
performed together in an occasional improvised duo, they
decided to somewhat formalize their work together,
join forces and defeat the legions of evil, and
create a new context for performance: field
field is an environment for improvised sound and
video performance.
Ben's hurdy gurdy is a contemporary, electro-acoustic
instrument with roots in the European middle ages. Through
extended techniques, live-looping and processing, Ben seeks
to use it as a physical interface into improvised sound creation,
spontaneous composition and the exploration of acoustics,
form and extended aesthetics.
For field, Deb is using video and visual sources outside of
the culturally driven semiotics of his previous work - to
explore code and programming, focusing on form and process.
For tonight's performance, Deb will also be contributing digitally
generated audio based on analogous processes.
10:45 . SOUNS . Michael Red, aka Souns, is a Vancouver based
music producer, performer, DJ and event organizer. Michael is
the founding member of Lighta! Sound, acting captain of the
Low Indigo ship, regular collaborator with Tanya Tagaq
and music curator for New Forms Festival. As a live performer,
Michael combines his “sound art” side with his summed DJ
experience - blending layered atmospheres, subtle details,
and improvised manipulations with a dance floor sensibility.
Upfront beats can quickly scatter to polyrhythmic tangents
and back again. Nearly untraceable pulses can eventually merge
to create fully living and breathing landscapes. Playing more with
the tension side of tension-and-release is common theme, along
with an ever present dub-wise approach to FX, bass, and overall
treatment. Michael's bass music sets can vary greatly in tempo
and feel - traversing the many modes of dubstep, future and
roots dub, heaters, select rap and modern r'n'b cuts, dancehall
fusions, post-dubstep and genre-less music in between. Whatever
the flavours being played, one almost in-escapable common thread
is dub soundsystem mentality. Unplanned experiments and risks,
echo, delay and space.. deep space.. deep water. it can
get as emotional as it can get hype.
