This Tuesday August 27th - Recorded Skies

Join Recorded Skies for an evening of computer­-evolved synthscapes,
haunting digital frequencies, processed acoustic pleasures and
'classic­style lyrical ambience'. With Rod Caballero (Future Rhetoric)
on computer and violin, Jeff Chown on treated percussion and
Steffi Conant on cello and delay loops. Imagine Brian Eno, Ravel
and The Police on vacation together in an orbital getaway.

Between sets CD - "Forgotten Places" by James Johnson and
Robert Scott Thompson (Zero Music) http://www.zeromusic.net
Floating ambience featuring sparce gentle piano over drifting synths.
This 2001 CD has been compared repeatedly to prime Harold Budd.

Between Sets CD - "Evening Star" by Fripp & Eno (Editions EG)
Speaking of "Frippertronics", this 1975 collaboration between Robert
Fripp and Brian Eno (who introduced Fripp to the tape looping system
he later dubbed "Frippertronics") displays the delicate ambient side
of looping on side 1 (which we'll hear) and the dense, aggressive side
on side 2's "An Index Of Metals" (which we'll hear a bit of).
