This Wednesday January 19th - Faceless Forces of Bigness The Faceless Forces of Bigness is an experimental audio/video collective focused on exploring the musical and visual narrative possibilities of improvisation in a random generative environment. Combining instrumentless sound creation, modular synthesizers, electronic filtering, feedback and video projection, each member performs by shepherding the sound and video through an organic and often unpredictable series of parameters. The result is a show that is always a surprise for both performers and audience.

Hamilton-based trio *low frequency pilot* opened the night with guitar, drums, electronics and treatments. The guitar-dominated first set riffed from intense grooves to spaced-out airwaves, setting the tone for an exciting evening. As PiNG-goers continued to come in from the rain, ARC and Pholde (Alan Bloor, aka Knurl) took to the stage, treating the crowd to a superb second set of improvised soundscapes. The set began with the tribalesque rhythms of Rich Baker & Christopher Kukiel on hand drums. Aiden Baker, well-known for his innovative guitar-playing & loops, joined the percussionists along with Pholde. Building in intensity, the music was raw and intriguing, much like the metal sculpture created by Pholde for the show. While the atmospherics were at times chaotic, the performance was never less than compelling: there was always a sense that something was happening in this soundscape, something definitely not to be missed. PiNG regulars echoed the evening's great vibe with an enthusiastic response to TAP's new digs. Impressed by the vibrancy of the neighborhood, regulars commented on the new venue's potential for attracting a stronger PiNG following. Based on the sonic adventures of this past week, their predictions seem prescient rather than optimistic.

Using unique sculptured instruments of his own design, Bloor coaxes out sounds and rhythms which he processes and effects to create odes to the abrasive wonders of machinery and automation. Upon first listen one might mistakenly think the works created were random and haphazard sound with little or no defining shape. But more careful consideration reveals a motion and structure to pieces that suggest truths and mysteries contained within the metal. Truths that are desperate to be released and heard. Truths that Bloor wants to share with us... While some of the work contained herein is quite challenging to the casual listener, those that take the time to explore further will be rewarded for their efforts. "Cytostatic" is a release of great depth and substance and is well worth the effort to dig deeper. rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com http://www.pingthings.com = ambient + electronic + chill things Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com for updates on *all* the latest releases on sale at ping things . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
