Tuesday April 1st - ARC and
            unravelled brown cassette tape lying on a freeway

ARC's sound is centred on the melodic loops, textures, & samples
provided by Aidan Baker's heavily-effected and looped guitar. This is
overlaid with percussionists Richard & Chris' tribal-esque rhythms,
creating a roiling tapestry of both rhythmic and ambient sound,
a sound simultaneously prim(ev)al & avant-garde.  http://fade.to/arc

Visiting again from Winnipeg, as he tours his new CD "sounds for
an accelerated culture", the unravelled brown cassette tape lying on
a freeway, returns to "create a piece of sound sculpture. it will start
and it will end. it will dig itself into the subconscience of the listener.
it may cause feelings of uneasiness or dread, perhaps feelings of joy
and celebration. it will straddle a fine line between melody, drone and
chaos using bass and found sound. one will not leave unaffected in
some way."  http://www.ubclf.com

Between Sets CD - "All Is Now" (disc 1) by Steve Roach (Timeroom)
This double CD compiles some of the highlights of ambient master
Steve Roach's live-performance adventures in 2002. Disc 1 weaves
excerpts of peak moments in Oakland, Portland and San Francisco
concerts into a 74 minute suite.  http://www.steveroach.com
