Tuesday April 8 - Spacenoiz + still coiled with Redjet Media Visuals Spacenoiz sprang from the subconscious and computer of composer/sound designer/multi-instrumentalist Jim Field. Known as much for his film / tv / internet scoring work as for co-founding Metropolis Records' recording artist Rhea's Obsession, Jim's new solo project spacenoiz is a fusion of ambient/ middle-eastern/processed guitar-loop work, as well as Turkish oud, computer-based processing, chilled beats and Reaktor weirdness. Returning to the Ping in the second set will be longtime spacenoiz collaborator brilliantfish (Handsonic, keys, laptop, bolbol, beats and vocals) and together they will perform an ambient improvisation under the name still coiled. A defacto third member of still coiled, Redjet Media will be supplying video projections throughout both sets. http://www.geocities.com/russian_rheas http://www.brilliantfish.com Between Sets CD - "All Is Now" (disc 2) by Steve Roach (Timeroom) This double CD compiles some of the highlights of ambient master Steve Roach's live-performance adventures in 2002. Disc 2, titled "Sedona: Formations Creation" is an unedited recording from his performance May 3 at Seven Centers Yoga Arts, Sedona, Arizona. http://www.steveroach.com (Now available at *ping things*) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
