These special presentations by THE AMBiENT PiNG for Deep Wireless feature experimental artists making extensive use of radio as a live ambient sound source including live radio broadcasts of Greg Clow's Feedback Monitor on CIUT 89.5-FM.

Floating ensemble Planet Of The Loops will be focusing on radio transmissions as their primary sound source for an evening of live loop-based improvisations. The Planet's founder, Andrew Aldridge (guitar with Sarah Slean, Kathryn Rose...) will be joined by world musician Rick Hyslop (violin with Mazameze, Legion Of Green Men and many others) for a first set featuring live weather radio, short-wave, crystal radio and vintage tape looping followed by a second set trapping and twisting the live broadcast of Feedback Monitor - Greg Clow's weekly radio program dedicated to new sounds in electronic and experimental music on CIUT-FM 89.5, Toronto.

Toronto radio legend David Pritchard (host of the infamously eclectic Late Night show on CHUM-FM in the late 60s/early 70s, the first manager/program director for CFNY-FM when it exploded from 200 to 100,000 watts in the 70s, founder of Sonic Workshop Productions) opens the night with short-wave manipulations plus prepared excerpts from random transmissions and slices of his previous radio-centric works like "An Admission Of Guilt." Joining him will be multi-instrumentalist Byron Wong (King Brand Vallium, My Brilliant Beast) and electronic soundscape artist Scott M2 (dreamSTATE, earotica) on radios, treatments and looping devices.

In the second set, electronic duo Self-Service (Jakob Thiesen and Rebecca McLellan) will tune in to the airwaves to pillage and resample Greg Clow's Feedback Monitor radio show (which will be including sections of the previous week's Planet Of The Loops/Deep Wireless performance looping Feedback Monitor on May 6th) to bring RADiO iN AMBiENCE full circle in a week-long self-consuming loop. Self-Service plan a fresh mix of electronic music where sources both familiar and obscure coexist with their own pulsing consonant tones.
