This Wed. March 9th - Building Castles out of Matchsticks + Psychosomatic Climax Machine with General Chaos Visuals Building Castles out of Matchsticks - Scattered electronics composed, performed and arranged by Anne Sulikowski. Analogue synthesis and accidental sequences. Found sounds and pedal manipulations blended to form an ambient bliss. These are personal scrapbook collections of beats, drone, synth pop, minimalism, audio art and noise collages. An audio diary of extraordinary events and everyday life. Psychosomatic Climax Machine - A 5 piece improvisational music ensemble focusing on space, time travel, analogue synthesis and sub-atomic melodies & microtones. All songs, performance pieces & atmospheres are spontaniously created. Music is similar to that of Can, Tangerine Dream, Black Dice and Tommorland. Features Anne Sulikowski, Scott Johnson & Vanessa Price on keyboards with Phil Ogison & Jeff Sinibaldi on guitar. These are all members of the Hamilton based collective Worthy Records: the only non-profit artist run record label in Ontario. They have released over 50 CDs in 2 years with more on the way. www.worthyrecords.com BCooM and PCM are delighted to be accompanied by the almighty General Chaos Visuals. Steve and Eric's light manipulations are so psychedelic you'll forgot you stopped taking acid in the 90s! http://www.generalchaosvisuals.com Between Sets CD - "HoVR" by Anomalous Disturbances (Last week we bumped this lovely CD to feature the music of David Pritchard in honour of his life and his passing.) Sublime soundscaping from Vancouver artist Terry O'Brien using looping guitar as a primary sound source. After a darker opening landscape, the album begins to float and never returns to earth. http://www.anomalousdisturbances.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Building and expanding upon the atmosphere of the previous volume, the two artists have created a world of mysterious possibilities and solopsisms. Alien percussion drifts through haunting melodies, the sounds of dying stars play against backdrops of cosmic dust dancing past forgotten moons, celestial bodies developing sentience, civilization, empires and more. This is truly music of the spheres. 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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
