Coming Tuesday September 2nd - Six Heads

A rare performance from Toronto's secretive surrealist sound
collective Six Heads as 6 former members of the Urban Refuse
Group bring their unique brand of free-improv sound collage to
the Ping. Using a range of unusual sound sources (home-made
instruments, circuit-bent electronics, toys and found objects,
field recordings, vinyl LPs & other prerecorded material, etc.)
and some creative live mixing and audio processing, the Heads
produce a dense, shifting sonic dreamscape of ambient textures,
jarring juxtapositions of concrete sound, and an absurd and
vaguely disturbing sense of humour. Their work more closely
resembles the carefully constructed studio creations of Nurse
With Wound than it does any form of live improvisation and their
infrequent public performances (with the exception of a recent
appearance on London, U.K.'s Resonance FM) make this an
opportunity not to be missed! Six Heads are James Bailey,
William Davison, Linda Feesey, Sherri Lyn Higgins, Colin Hinz
and Pete Mosher. CDs will be available at the Ping Things table.
