THiS THURSDAY APRiL 30TH . THE PiNG presents
THE CRUELLEST MONTH featuring FLOWERS OF HELL
+ BETA CLOUD + GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS

   at: http://www.renaissancecafe.ca/map.htm
   PiNG doors open at 8pm . 1st set is at 8:30 . $6

. 8.30 . Beta Cloud is C.Pace; a western classical & jazz educated
performer. Beta Cloud aims to span the sonic ground between
avant/improv/instrumental performance and ambient/drone/dj
sound installation. All compositions are performed improvised in
real time. Noise, hiss, and dynamic peaks, sub and supersonics
are intentional and controlled to ensure a maximum lo-fi listening
experience. The aim of Beta Cloud is to provide intensity,
relaxation, positive aggression, and a sense of passionate
response to all listeners. http://www.myspace.com/thebetacloud

. 9.30 . Flowers Of Hell . Based in London and Toronto, the
Flowers Of Hell are a trans-Atlantic experimental orchestra who
explore the intersecting points of classical & blues-based musical
forms. Built around timbre-to-shape synaesthetic visions, their
April 2009 CD & LP 'Come Hell Or High Water' features collaborators
from the Patti Smith Group, John Cale’s band, Spiritualized,
Broken Social Scene, & others. Pete ‘ Sonic Boom’ Kember of
Spacemen 3 & E.A.R. has mentored them through their two albums,
and after catching a number of London shows, Kevin Shields had
them open for My Bloody Valentine last fall. With an eight member
line up, they will be eschewing their regular set for a special
AMBiENT PiNG performance of ‘Swings And Roundabouts’, a semi-
structured/semi-improvised work lasting 30 - 40 mins. The piece
is a journey through layers of drones rising, falling, & evolving,
while strings, horns, & woodwinds exchange solos overtop,
interspersed with feedback guitar, orchestral drums, singing saw,
and various tremeloed instruments. http://www.flowersofhell.com

. General Chaos Visuals will provide the eye candy for the evening
by painting the walls and the performers with their unique brand
of light art. http://www.generalchaosvisuals.com

. Between Sets CDs . Come early to experience a heady dose of
Steve Roach's magnificent new double album of deep ambience
"Dynamic Stillness". We'll also be featuring tracks from
"Description Without Place" by Filaments (a Canadian/Australian
collaboration), "Heim" by Iceland's Sigur Ros and "Secret Land"
by Building Castles Out Of Matchsticks.
