Kalte live shows, new review and a sale at Atmoworks!

Just a few things of note that you should know about...

First off, I'll be playing two shows this week as part of Kalte, my collaborative project with Deane Hughes of Akumu. What's that? You haven't heard me mention Kalte yet? How foolish of me! Go visit http://www.kaltemusic.com to find out more information...

Anyway, about those shows...

1) August 18th at THE AMBiENT PiNG 10th Anniversary (at The Supermarket . 268 Augusta Ave. Kensington Market in Toronto) along with dreamSTATE, Wally Jericho and General Chaos Visuals (door is PWYC and this is a legal event).

2) August 21st at The Akin Collective(444 Dufferin Street, Unit E, just north of the Gladstone in Toronto) along with The Flashbulb, Wisp, Bartel, and DJ Submental (door is $8 and this is a legal event).

Come out to either, come out to both, either way it would be lovely to see you!

Speaking of lovely things, I received a very lovely review of the remastered "across for show..." disc from John Shanahan of the Hypnagogue website. Not only was it noted as a Hypnagogue Highly Recommended CD, it was also noted as having a "languid beauty and lyrical imagery and needed to be heard". Thanks for such high praise John! You can read the rest of the review at the Hypnagogue site at http://hypnagogue.netfirms.com/index.htm, and be sure to check out the Hypnagogue podcast at http://hypnagoguepodcast.blogspot.com/ while you're at it...

Speaking of "across for show...", Atmoworks is having a $4.98 download sale on a number of releases for the month of August including "across for show..."! Visit http://store.atmoworks.com/ to buy great music from Exuviae, Pixyblink, Disturbed Earth and more!

I think that just about covers it for now. I look forward to seeing some of you at the Kalte shows this week!

Cheers,

Hypnagogue Podcast and Star's End

I am very flattered to discover that mara's torment has been included in the third installment of John Shanahan's Hypnagogue Podcast (aka Hypnagogue Podcast 3). I'm in excellent company with a lot of really excellent artists and I encourage you to check it out at http://hypnagoguepodcast.blogspot.com/ not just because you love me, but also because it's a great podcast that I'm really enjoying. Thanks very much to John for his support!

I am also very pleased to let you know that the AtmoWorks re-release of "across for show..." has been noted as one of the top 20 releases for June on Chuck Van Zyl's very cool radio show Star's End. Broadcast on 88.5 WXPN in Philadelphia every Saturday night from 1-6AM, Star's End has been playing great music since 1976 which makes it one of the longest running ambient electronic radio shows in the world. Needless to say it's very cool to have their support and I'm most grateful to Chuck for promoting my stuff on his show!

While I have your attention, I also wanted to let you know that Kalte (my project with the very brilliant and talented Deane Hughes) will be making its live debut on Tuesday August 18th as part of the AMBiENT PiNG's 10th Anniversary Show at Supermarket (268 Augusta Ave, just south of College) in Toronto. We'll be playing as part of a bill featuring Wally Jericho and dreamSTATE and I'll have more details as we get closer to the date. You might also be interested to know that we have a new Kalte track called "Offworld" available exclusively from our website at http://www.kaltemusic.com/. By all means feel free to give it a listen and feel free to drop us an email to let us know what you think...

Cheers,
