ping things is thrilled to release the latest from Deane Hughes' project Akumu. "Transmissions" is a series of short, abstract pieces that delve into Akumu's interest in messages hidden within messages, of sounds between sounds, of communications that are slightly beyond our perception... beyond our reach.
In our daily lives, we are exposed to a constant stream of noise, static, interference - all of which we filter out and ignore. But what if there is more there than we are aware of? Hidden inside the cracks of cacophony?
Built upon recordings of radio static, electrical interference and guitar-based ephemera, "Transmissions" creates a world of tones, clicks, squelches and pulses - a space that lies between calm drones and arrhythmical noise. Within that space, much like the world around us, perhaps there is something more? A place where lost transmissions reside.
"Transmissions" by Akumu is available for free download as a 62 Mb Zip file containing the full release in high quality 320kbps mp3 format along with artwork suitable for printing. The music on this release is copyright Deane Hughes 2012, and may not be used or reproduced without the artist's express permission.

I'm very pleased to announce the latest release from the ping things catalog. "Ensoulment" by Remora is the latest release from Silber Media founder Brian John Mitchell. Brian has been experimenting with guitar atmospherics since 1995. "Ensoulment" marks a return to long form ambient guitar drones that have been absent from Remora’s recorded output since 1999’s Ambient Drones for One Guitar. It was recorded with one guitar (no overdubbing)split into three effect channels (loop and envelope filter; distortion, loop, and reverb; distortion, sub-octave, and reverb) and an acoustic guitar in front of an amplifier used as an ambient room mic.
On "Ensoulment" Remora throws out the idea of using the guitar as a melody instrument, approaching it instead as a sound source, as six tuned wires mounted on wood. The idea of song and melody is replaced by an increased importance on the tone and feeling of the sound. A conveying of emotion without implementing any of the common tricks of the guitarist’s trade. "Ensoulment" is one piece clocking in at over seventy minutes filled with dynamics one might feel in a restless sleep, a surrealistic soundscape full of monstrous walls and serene calm moments. It is both claustrophobic and calm. You can hear the influences to Brian’s ideas of tone and beauty from Justin Broadrick to Gyorgy Ligeti to Mike VanPortfleet as he occasionally coaxes sound out of the guitar, but more often forcefully beats it out. This is ambient music for the tarmac rather than inside the airport lobby.
"Ensoulment" is available for free download as a 126Mb Zip file containing the full release in high quality 256kbps mp3 format along with artwork suitable for printing. The music on this release is copyright Brian John Mitchell 2008 and may not be used or reproduced without the artist's express permission.

Download "October Sky" by Building Castles Out of Matchsticks for free!
ping things is thrilled to present "October Sky" by Building Castles Out of Matchsticks. "October Sky" is a collection of mostly improvised works by Anne Sulikowski using guitar, pedals, voice, laptop and synthesizers to create two pieces that are a collage of sounds, and are meant to be heard as one continuous piece. The second segment "Sky" contains a cover of Corey Hart's song "Water From the Moon" from the album "The Boy in the Box".
Anne comments about the release "Fall is perhaps the most melancholy of all the seasons. Because it is so neutral, so warm and yet grey, it is easy to become absorbed in the most deepest of your memories, your feelings, and the random thoughts and the blurs between your reality and your dreams. A perfect time for a pause. Introspection. These pieces are remnants of my mind as it wanders with the autumn wind......
Nothing beats the sky just before twilight in the month of October, absolutely nothing."
Anne would like to thank ping things for the opportunity of this release. She would also like to thank all of her friends who made the October sky seem much less far.
"October Sky" by Building Castles Out of Matchsticks is available for free download as a 64.3 Mb Zip file containing the full release in high quality 192kbps mp3 format along with artwork suitable for printing.

"The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison
ptnr002: ping things net release 002
ping things is proud to present the second release from the ping things net label! "The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison
is a sparkling collection of music that captures the essence of the metropolitan ideal, painting an aural picture
of a bright future in a utopian lifestyle. A fine example of melodic ambience, "The Perfect City" is a stunning disc from start to finish.
Phil's guitar work throughout is a study in ambient beauty, emotive fretwork that is by turns elated,
pensive, mournful and more.
By agreement with the artist, "The Perfect City" is no longer available through ping things.
ping things is proud to present the very first release from the ping things net label! "Les Landes" by Spatial
Correlation is a beautiful collection of minimal dreampop from one of my very favorite artists.
On "Les Landes", Ryan Hagerman of Spatial Correlation creates pieces of great
beauty and wonder where tones float together seemlessly and silence is just as important as the notes it surrounds.
From the opening track "scene" with its sparse introduction and subtle use of percussion, through "edit" which
sweeps and flows just underneath your perception, to the subtle charms of "breathe", one can't help but be swept
away in a wave of bliss that grows and deepens as the disc continues. The delicate strains of "borealis", the
hypnotic rhythms of "riga", you can't help but get lost in this disc, hypnotized, mesmerized, beguiled.
"Les Landes" by Spatial Correlation is available for free download as a 75Mb Zip file containing the full release in high
quality 256kbps mp3 format along with front and back cover art suitable for printing. The music on this release
