Cream Test Centrifuge
David Toop (London, UK), spoken word, flutes, CD, and minidisc
Sarah Peebles (Toronto, Canada/U.S.), laptop, diffusion, minidisc,
and shô (mouth-organ)
Nilan Perera (Toronto, Canada), altered electric guitar and electronics
Darren Copeland (Toronto, Canada), diffusionDavid Toop may be best known as the author of the thought-provoking music books "Ocean of Sound", "Exotica" and "Rap Attack", but he is also an accomplished ambient musician in his own right. He has collaborated with everyone from Talvin Singh to John Zorn to Prince Far I to Jon Hassell. He will perform on flutes, paraphernalia and effects, inserting surreal short stories, sarcastic social observation, historical oddities, and thoughts on the impact of digital music - all spacialized on the fly by Darren Copeland. Spacializing her own sonic constructions, Sarah Peebles performs electroacoustics on laptop, drawing from CD playback glitches of Toop's music, Japan Rail commuting adventures, Tokyo video arcade and pachinko (electronic pinball) sound, hummingbirds, snow, and insects, augmented by acoustic and pre-recorded shô performance (Japanese mouth organ). Nilan Perera utilizes preparations of assorted paraphernalia such as swizzle sticks, paper clips, metal brushes and the like, as well as feedback and a variety of electronic effects. His explorations of sound, which infuse timbre, melodic gesture and cyclic contour with reminiscences of the blues, Hendrix, Partch, Sri Lankan folk and other musics, will also be spacialized by Darren Copeland.
Celebrating the release of two new enhanced CDs, the performance incorporates works and materials from both recordings, including multi-chanel versions of "White Powder/The Spiders" (Toop/Peebles) and"where the Wild things Went", previously commissioned by New Adventures in Sound Art for Sound Travels. Releases: "Insect Groove" (cycing74) by Peebles with guest artists David Toop, Nilan Perera, Ko Ishikawa, Jin Hi Kim, and "108 – Walking through Tokyo at the Turn of the Century" (Post-Concrète enhanced CD), audio by Peebles, and photos of Tokyo's architecture, spaces and life by Toronto-based artist/architect Christie Pearson. With an essay on Tokyo's soundscape past and present by soundscape writer/musician Yoshimura Hiroshi. Post-concert reception/CD launch at Butlers' pantry, across the street.
