This Tuesday April 30th 2002 - ARC and
unravelled brown cassette tape lying on a freeway

ARC's sound is centred on the melodic loops, textures, & samples
provided by Aidan Baker's heavily-effected guitar. This is overlaid with
percussionists Richard & Chris' tribal-esque rhythms, creating a roiling
tapestry of both rhythmic & ambient sound, a sound simultaneously
prim(ev)al & avant-garde. ARC will have copies of "Repercussion" their
latest CD, which was recorded live in Jan.2002 at The Ambient Ping
with subsequent overdubbing/extensions by Aidan. http://fade.to/arc

Visiting us from Winnipeg, here's the artist's description of his set:
"the unravelled brown cassette tape lying on a freeway will create
a piece of sound sculpture. it will start and it will end. it will dig 
itself
into the subconscience of the listener. it may cause feelings of
uneasiness or dread, perhaps feelings of joy and celebration. it will
straddle a fine line between melody, drone and chaos using bass,
keyboard and found sound. one will not leave unaffected in some way."

Between sets CD - "Music For Airports" by Brian Eno (EG Records)
The classic (tapeloop) album that first defined the term
Ambient Music in 1978.

This album has been played to open every new location of the Ping
& will be played tonight as a gentle celebration of our first year of
performances at C'est What. On April 24th 2001, dreamSTATE
played the first "test show" here, then cheryl o & Richard Underhill
began the new regular residency on May 22nd 2001.

Cheers to our friends at C'est What!
