- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This Saturday, May 29th, 2021 at 8pm ET, THE PiNG LiVE iN SPACE 10 presents a free DRoNE DAY Concert on Twitch.TV featuring: dreamSTATE, JP King, Shimmer Crush, Scott LePore, URM+Sylken, Not Your Average Worker Bees and Weep, O' Mine Eyes https://www.twitch.tv/ambientping . Electronic ambient artists dreamSTATE (Scott M2+Jamie Todd) have devotedly performed at every Drone Day since it was created in 2014. Their album "DRoNE DAY" was recorded at that first show. This year, they'll present drones oozing from modular synth and virtual electronics, while safely distanced in the verdant greenspace of Jamie's back yard. https://www.dreamSTATE.to https://dreamstate.bandcamp.com/album/drone-day . JP King is an artist-designer-educator with a special interest in sound synthesis, system design, and visual communication. He currently teaches within the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at U of T, with a focus on discard culture, the environment, printmaking, and publishing. In 2016, the Canada Council for the Arts nominated King for a Governor General's Innovation Award based on his research about how waste shapes the world alongside his pioneering experiments with Risograph printing. He makes experimental music as an extension of his artistic practice under his own name. http://www.jpking.ca and Instagram@jpk.ing . Shimmer Crush produces starkly beautiful electronic music in an organic and shifting process currently defined by “enormous, edgy, deep, hypnotic sounds" (Melissa Devine https://melissadevine.ca/). Pulsing rhythms thread through dreamy soundscapes that merge in layers of aural textures following a path often unknown but always informed by the world around us. Shaped by this experience, then further explored through live performances, a rich sonic palette has emerged from which new and dynamic compositions have evolved. These elements come together to form the basis for the unique Shimmer Crush sound. http://www.shimmercrush.wordpress.com https://componentrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/shimmer-crush-gemini . Scott Lepore is an electro-acoustic musician and composer in Toronto. He has been exploring the intersection between improvisational performance and technology for 40 years. He is an active member of various artistic communities including the Music Experience Movement and Toronto's Frequency Freaks monthly modular meetups. https://soundcloud.com/ahonoe . Not Your Average Worker Bees is David Sutherland and Intrepita (Paul Stillwell). Both are members of the CEE (Canadian Electronic Ensemble) with strong backgrounds in live electronic music improvisation. Their focus is live performances in Toronto and live broadcast performances via YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCng39kwD6beT1l8PZI_2CDg . Weep, O' Mine Eyes (Michael Weicker) - Calgary. While PiNG audiences will best remember Michael's performances in Toronto from his Eigenharp playing - over the years (since 1984) he has also created his music with analog synthesizers, drum machines, eastern hand drums & found objects such as metal canisters and power tools. http://www.weepomineeyes.com . Sylken+URM (Eric Hopper+Jamie Todd) - the PiNG's spaced-out synthetic house band will be dropping improvised interludes into the stream live from the secret suburban subterranean studio. https://sylken.bandcamp.com https://urmspace.bandcamp.com http://www.urm.ca - - - - - - - - - - - PS.
