Tuesday April 1st - 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 and looped guitar. This is overlaid with percussionists Richard & Chris' tribal-esque rhythms, creating a roiling tapestry of both rhythmic and ambient sound, a sound simultaneously prim(ev)al & avant-garde. http://fade.to/arc Visiting again from Winnipeg, as he tours his new CD "sounds for an accelerated culture", the unravelled brown cassette tape lying on a freeway, returns to "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 and found sound. one will not leave unaffected in some way." http://www.ubclf.com Between Sets CD - "All Is Now" (disc 1) by Steve Roach (Timeroom) This double CD compiles some of the highlights of ambient master Steve Roach's live-performance adventures in 2002. Disc 1 weaves excerpts of peak moments in Oakland, Portland and San Francisco concerts into a 74 minute suite. http://www.steveroach.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
