The Ambient Ping presents free live performances by Toronto's finest ambient, chillout and experimental music artists plus performers from across the continent, every Tuesday at club nia (aka C'est What) featuring a comfortable lower stage area, perfect for attentive listening, plus a higher level with a bar, back room and more seating that's great for conversation, good food and the club's impressive beer, wine and whiskey selection. Musical treats are on offer at the PiNG THiNGS ambient/experimental CD boutique. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Coming Tuesday Sept. 10th - Wally Jericho & Michael Rockwood James Johnson's Sept. 10th show has had to be rescheduled for November. The good news - Wally Jericho *will* be performing and will be joined by fellow looper Michael Rockwood, who has not graced the Ping's stage since the 2nd Anniversary show. It's a night of electro-acoustic explorations with a passion for the sweet spots as guitarist/loopist Michael Rockwood joins the mighty Wally Jericho on trumpet, bass, samples and loops. Both artists are expert with "Boomerang" looping devices in creating floating ambience and thoughtful walls of sonic goo. Wally Jericho - http://www.wallyjericho.com Mike Rockwood - http://www.theambientping.com/rockwood/rockwood.htm Between Sets CD - "Linger" by James Johnson James will be here tonight *virtually* as we feature a CD recorded live in Toronto in 2000 at The Ambient Ping, sound:escape and dreamSTATE's Sunspot Studio. http://www.zeromusic.net . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
