THE AMBiENT PiNG http://www.theambientping.com Free - Every Tuesday Night - doors open at 9pm - 1st set at 9:30 @ club nia / C'est What - 19 Church St. at Front St. - Toronto 3 blocks east of the Union Station subway. map - http://www.cestwhat.com/map.html . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tuesday March 4th - FaMished AMerica and PHOLDE Out of the swirling, voracious airwaves of north amerika comes a cannibal vision for the ears. Armed with two radio receivers and sound processors (including Boomerang and Head Rush), the duo (Susanna Hood & Nilan Perera) pulls the threads of the AM / FM dimensiona into a graffiti wall of sound, creating compositions that can ONLY occur at the specific time and place that the performance occurs. Classical, easy listening, jazz, urban, dance, world, newsradio, classic rock, sports, specialty and community channels. The radio bands, from the highbrow to the sales channels are all lovingly shredded into works of poignancy and power. Susanna - http://www.humprojects.org/upcomingprojects.html Nilan - http://www.interlog.com/%7Espeeb/cinn_bio_perera.htm Opening the night is PHOLDE, the ambient project of Alan Bloor, who is also known for his extreme noise project called KNURL. PHOLDE creates ambient soundscapes by the bowing and scraping of his metal sound-sculptures with hand files, smooth and threaded metal rods, angle iron and blocks of hardened steel. This will be the official release event for the newest PHOLDE CD "...AND WITH IT, WE SHALL DIVIDE". http://www.pholde.com Between Sets CD - "FLUID - disc 2" by Jonathan Hughes/subspace A 2 CD set conceived to be played on 2 decks, with each 8 minute track designed to be compatible with any track on the opposite disc. * We're bring in an extra CD player tonight and putting it in 'random' mode so we can experience the 2 discs interacting the way the artist intended. http://darius.pce.net/subspace/subspace.html * rik maclean is putting the final touches on the new PiNG THiNGS Internet CD Store.

Subtle textures and oblique movement permeate throughout the disc creating a shimmering cocoon that enshrouds the listener, drawing them deeper into an otherworldly state of being. Light percussion passes through leaving ripples and vapor trails behind in their wake. A passing flute, or is it something more exotic? Other sounds float by, caressing you as you drift further and further away from the physical world and into this new land of wonder. A sheer delight from start to end.
