Ambient Ping 20th Anniversary with Planet of the Loops
THE AMBiENT PiNG's 20th ANNiVERSARY SPECIAL!
featuring Planet of the Loops with Andrew Aldridge, Wally Jericho, Steven Sauvé, Cheryl O, Kurt Swinghammer, Scott M2, Jamie Todd + General Chaos Visuals
.. Once upon a time, long ago, before even THE AMBiENT PiNG was born, Planet Of The Loops achieved earth orbit and colourful sonic auroras began to fill the night skies of Toronto on a regular basis. Founded and led by Andrew Aldridge, the rotating crew of loopers from the Planet spun hours of delicious looping improvisations and always with large helpings of ambience.
A migration from the Planet to the PiNG was a natural flow and all the earliest PiNG performers were Planetary Crew. The PiNG (then weekly) soon began hosting Planet Of The Loops on a monthly basis and our orbital paths were entwined for many years.
For the THE AMBiENT PING's 20th Anniversary show, we've invited the Planet back for a night of looping improvisations with a veteran POTL crew selected from the PiNG's 1st year of performances. Here's your looping lineup:
Andrew Aldridge - guitar
Wally Jericho (the 1st artist to play the PiNG on August 17th, 1999) - trumpet
Steven Sauvé - laptop / Cheryl O - cello
Kurt Swinghammer - guitar
Scott M2 - modular synth
Jamie Todd - electronics
