This Tuesday November 4th - Planet Of The Loops

Old and New Loops - An evening of varied looping methods,
from the old "Time Lag Accumulator" to modern digital devices.
Participants will be James Bailey, Pessi Parviainen, Andrew Yue
and Michelangelo Iaffaldano. Come celebrate Pessi's second-last
night here before heading back to Turku, Finland, and hear some
of the strangest looping you've ever encountered.

Between Sets CD - "A Rainbow In Curved Air" by Terry Riley
"At the beginning of the sixties, Pauline Oliveros, Ramon Sender
and Terry Riley of the San Francisco Tape Music Center invented
a continuous tape echo/feedback system based on 2 tape recorders.
Minimalist Terry Riley recorded LPs using this system (he called it
'time-lag accumulator') and played all-night solo concerts. In the
seventies, the technology was rediscovered by Brian Eno -
he used the time-lag accumulator to create the first works of the
new genre 'ambient music' and, together with Robert Fripp, to
produce several albums of 'Frippertronics' music." We'll be playing
track 2, "Poppy Nogood And The Phantom Band" (21:38), and then,
if the interval allows, some of the title track. http://terryriley.com

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"In Favour of More Permanent Pleasures" by Pholde

By shaping new instruments from various metal sources,
Alan Bloor of Pholde creates very unique sounds & environments.
On his latest "In Favour of More Permanent Pleasures", Bloor
captures the hidden beauty of metal and reveals a music that
we rarely have the opportunity to hear.

Haunting and beguiling, the songs that appear on this release
create a soundscape of intense darkness made all the more
ominous by it's organic sensibilities. Indeed the instruments
seem to have a life of their own, and one can't help but imagine
that the music created is the sound of secrets being shared
with the listener.

"In Favour of More Permanent Pleasures" comes highly
recommended and is now available through ping things, along
with a wide variety of other releases by Alan Bloor performing
as both Pholde and Knurl.  Visit http://www.pingthings.com
to find out more.
