This Tuesday May 21st - Sara Ayers and Mara's Torment

Visiting us from Albany New York, Sara Ayers unleashes her
sampled, looped and layered vocals with occasional guitar washes
and warm noise...ethereal atmospheres, dense memories of dreams
and sparkling fragments of stories conveyed by a voice that shifts
from guttural lows to silvery, trilling highs in the space of a heartbeat.

Inspired by falling rain, subway cars, white noise, and of course his 
increasingly vocal cat, rik maclean returns to The Ambient Ping
for another set of songs inspired by absence and the burdens of
geography. Playing songs from his forthcoming CD "The Last Night
is the Hardest" along with the dreaded Ambient-Ozzy medley,
Mara's Torment set will cover a broad range of human emotions
and don't be surprised if you see a collaboration with Sara.

Between sets CD - "Low" (Side 2) by David Bowie (RCA/Ryko)
Influenced by Brian Eno & German electronic musings, these
sparce moody instrumentals from 1977, anticipated many
ambient-related directions in music for the next two decades.
