Feb. 8, 2007 with Kim Cascone

We are pleased to help Vancouver New Music, by presenting a legend in North American ambient music, Kim Cascone. On Feb. 10 2007 at Video In Studios (1965 Main St.) he brought his new work 'Spectral Space' to the city. This performance focuses on the omnipresent din of our media culture, which provides a security blanket for many: when noise is present, we feel at ease; when it stops, we feel unease. In this paradoxical development of our cognitive apparatus we are now better able to assimilate more information at one time and decode its meaning. With 'Spectral Space' Cascone builds a foreground/midground/background sound-field through which sounds glint, shimmer, collide and implode within the fabric of noise.
