Subject: CREAM TEST CENTRIFUGE feat. David Toop + Sarah Peebles

Just forwarding this info along for a friend .....
some of you might be interested.... read on:

CREAM TEST CENTRIFUGE
David Toop + Sarah Peebles + Darren Copeland + Nilan Perera
Societe des arts technologiques SAT
Jeudi 21 novembre 2002, 2 concerts: 19h00 et 21h30
14$ avance 18$ porte, places limit=E9es

Cream Test Centrifuge is the name of collaboration between renowned
British musician and writer David Toop, Toronto-based electroacoustic
composer Sarah Peebles, sound designer Darren Copeland and
guitarist/improviser Nilan Perera. David 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. At the Nov. 21 concerts, 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 spatialized on the fly
by Darren Copeland. Sarah Peebles will perform electro-acoustics 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, fire and insects. Nilan Perera will
utilize 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 will also be
spatialized by Darren Copeland.
The 2 concerts at SAT will use an 8 channels spacialisation display.
The event will be also celebrating two new releases by Sarah Peebles -
Insect Groove and 108-Walking Through Tokyo at the Turn of the Century.
The CD's include guest artists David Toop and Nilan Perera.
Promo CDs available for press on request.
