This Tuesday July 8th - Söftware with Toastybird Visuals "Period music on period instruments. It's Analogue Only night at The Ambient Ping featuring Söftware (Paul Asselin - guitars; plexus - synths/sequencing/loops). Söftware will be performing this evening's show with instruments from 1984 and earlier, featuring a newly restored modular synthesizer circa 1977. Pulsing rhythms, silky swirly sounds & zippy guitar punctuations dance amid the fury of control voltages, sync pulses and trying to keep everything in tune. Also featured will be Toastybird Visuals providing the hypnotizing analogue video projections." http://www.techno-jazz.com Between Sets CD - "Bislama" by Alpha Wave Movement & Jim Cole A beautiful combination of synthesizers, samplers and the human voice as an instrument. Jim Cole's harmonic overtone singing could easily be mistaken for creative synth timbres in this 2001 release. http://www.hypnos.com/artists/awm.htm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Diaphanous Depressions is a powerful collection of eastern flavoured songs, each one more impressive than the last. As a writer, Daniel is able to expertly build a song around a simple idea or melody and add just enough to create something growing, changing, morphing, until it takes on a life of it's own. Hunt at the Haunted Forest is a particularly strong example of this idea, using a repeated phrase throughout to achieve a sense of location and place, while giving a sense of motion with the use of pumping percussion until the point where you're there, galloping through the forest. No One's is another example of the same, where a delicate piano melody plays overtop a mournful string arrangement and echoing chimes shimmer in and out of the piece giving the sense of a fleeting image that dances around our heads just on the periphery of memory... Hmmmmmmm, I can see that I'm getting carried away by the places this album take me to. But that's okay. As I said earlier, it's no secret that I enjoy the work of Thy Veils. In addition to creating a very emotive and very passionate imagery, his compositions are rich, impressive, and evocative, and are sure to stand out in your mind long after they're done. Listening to The Diaphanous Depressions, I'm sure you'll agree... rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com - http://www.pingthings.com (This month at pingthings an exclusive interview with Mercurine) Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com for updates on *all* the latest releases on sale at ping things. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
