This Tuesday Sept.14th - Wendy Atkinson & vinyl vandal Vancouver's Wendy Atkinson opens the night with a solo bass set. Her new CD "Trim" is a bass-only album recorded using only electric, acoustic and double bass. Using only bass, an instrument that is generally used as the rhythmic background of most music, she has created a CD that is atmospheric and vivid. "Plucking some notes while letting others swell up from silence, concocting thick, bowed drones and slow-moving fuzz-toned atmospheres, deploying radio static and seasick glissandos, she takes us places no chops monster could ever access - and although dark, the ride is fascinating." Georgia Straight: Vancouver's Entertainment Weekly http://www.tinforest.com/tinfr/wendyatkinson/ "vinyl vandal is a Scottish-based drone ambient laptop performer who incorporates elements of techno and idm as well as noise to create a more rhythmic and eclectic live set. for his ping set he will be doing a more improvised set than normal and this show will finish up his current canadian tour which has spanned toronto, winnipeg, saskatoon and vancouver." http://www.besonic.com/vinylvandal Between Sets CD - "Perimeter II" by Vir Unis & James Johnson This 3-disc set is filled with percolating rhythms and sequences crossed with moaning synths and atmospherics. We'll be featuring Disc One tonight. http://www.atmoworks.com/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is the sound of Spacenoiz. The latest project by Jim Field, Spacenoiz continues the exploration of styles and sounds that have characterized his earlier work. With a keen ear for the synthesis of tones and an attention to the spaces that surround the notes, Jim has created a focussed work possessed of a variety of constantly shifting shapes and textures. A journey to the stars and back.
