This Tuesday August 10th - Io

Visiting THE AMBiENT PiNG from Miami Florida...
Io is futuristic global music, hypnotic, digital and divine.
David Font, the multi-instrumentalist behind the Io project,
has delved deeply into both modern sound technology and
traditional Afro-Cuban liturgical music. Synthesized, ancient
classical music traditions and high-tech digital experiments
form a natural musical vocabulary. It is not rhythm, melody,
or harmony that gives shape to music, but sound: acoustic,
synthetic or sampled. Weaving together electronics and
acoustic instruments, Io will consist of David Font on
electronics and percussion, Ekendra Das on percussion
and Michael Marcuzzi on percussion and trumpet.

Between Sets CD - "feel good lost" by Broken Social Scene
In keeping with the "groove, space and acoustic instruments"
feel of the evening we're featuring Broken Social Scene's
1st CD - a beautiful album of chilled, textured instrumentals.

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

Deep Chill Network "Live at the Ambient Ping 2000"

Sweeping & majestic are just two of the words that are conjured
up in my mind as I listen to "Live at the Ambient Ping 2000".
This live recording by Deep Chill Network brilliantly captures
the essence of the ambient genre, showcasing a selection
of organic and flowing works of sublime beauty and subtle
emotionality. One cannot help but be spellbound by this
release, get wrapped up in it's charms, enveloped by it's
warmth - or chill as the case may be...

One of the many projects of Dark Duck Records founder and
Maryland native Stephen Philips, Deep Chill Network
"Live at the Ambient Ping 2000" is a fine example of the
wonders of movement and the magic of the minimal.
