THiS TUESDAY . The PiNG presents PHOLDE and SIX HEADS with GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS Tuesday October 31st . 8 pm - 11 pm . PWYC ($5 suggested) @ the UNDERGROUND downstairs @ the DRAKE HOTEL 1150 Queen St. W @ Beaconsfield . W of Ossington . E of Dufferin The PiNG presents a special All Hallow's Eve performance featuring sound sculpturist PHOLDE and the secretive surrealist sound collective SIX HEADS all bathed in light courtesy of the GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS eye candy. (Please note the early 8 pm start time.) PHOLDE @ 8:30 pm Alan Bloor (Knurl) returns as PHOLDE to bow, scrape, brush, klang and caress his self-created metal sound sculptures with other metal objects to produce thunderous, spacious soundscapes. Metal, amplified and effected. http://www.pholde.com SIX HEADS @ 9:30 pm Using a range of unusual sound sources (home-made instruments, circuit-bent electronics, toys and found objects, field recordings, etc.) and some creative live mixing and audio processing, SIX HEADS produce a dense, shifting sonic dreamscape of ambient textures, jarring juxtapositions of concrete sound and an absurd and vaguely disturbing sense of humour. SIX HEADS are James Bailey, William Davison, Linda Feesey, Sherri Lyn Higgins, Colin Hinz and Pete Mosher. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
