Hi Everyone - This Thursday is the PiNG's 7th Anniversary Special
and we hope you'll come out to celebrate with us and your friends at
the Tranzac. Let us know what you think of the club and, if we're all
happy (and if the club is happy with the drink sales and such), we'll
see if we can negotiate a reasonable price to continue there when
the PiNG goes monthly in the fall. As usual, your support
means everything to THE AMBiENT PiNG:
its past, its present and its future!
See you there...

Has it really been a year since Dread Pirate rik and Sovaak the Scurvy
Sock Monkey of mara's torment took to the high seas in search of the
mythic Jade Llama? Whoa, time sure does fly! In celebration of their
return to THE AMBiENT PiNG stage the pair have put together an eclectic
collection of sea shanties and singalongs designed to celebrate both the
excitement of their days at sea and the PiNG's Seventh Anniversary.
Needless to say rik and Sovaak look forward to sharing a bill with
both dreamSTATE and naw, and to reacquainting themselves
with some old familiar faces. Yaaaarrrrr!!!!

Electronic sound artists dreamSTATE celebrate the launch of "OM",
their 3rd CD and their 1st live performance release, with (what else!)
a fresh live performance. "OM" is an ambient soundscape journey
recorded live at the OM Festival 2000 in Trudeau Park, Tweed,
Ontario and in the spirit of that performance, dreamSTATE will
create a free-ranging soundflow to carry the audience off into
an alternative mindspace. They're very happy that psychedelic
lightlords General Chaos Visuals will be along for the trip!

naw is Neil Wiernik (co-curator of the online digital arts quarterly
vagueterrain.net) and his sound is warm, atmospheric and cinematic -
firmly grounded in both the rich traditions of dub studio culture and
formal contemporary composition. 'The Wire' recently described it
as having "the kind of sharpness and clarity usually lost amid the
murk and decay of clicks and cuts and digital delays." Upon
learning that the Tranzac has a high quality stereo PA, Neil
has decided to perform pieces from his sets at Mutek this
year - works originally arranged for immersive listening.
