Hi Everyone! It's been a while since the PiNG has presented a show in
a nice comfy bar with good food and fine beers (Nia at C'est What?!!) -
so I've booked 3 terrific sound-artists to create the scapes & grooves
for a Tuesday night at the Central in the Annex. Located right beside
Honest Ed's and Suspect Video at 603 Markham St, the Central has
all of the above + an intimate main-space to immerse yourself in the
performances + a connected room to reconnect with your friends
at the PiNG + a sweet patio out front for smoking and chilling.
Mark June 24th on your calendars now - we're really looking forward
to seeing everybody again! ~ Cheers, Scott M2

ping things is proud to present its second net label release!
"The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison (ptnr002) 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.
"The Perfect City" by Phil Ogison is available for free download
from
http://www.pingthings.com/PTlabel.htm as a 104Mb Zip file
containing the full release in high quality 256kbps mp3 format along
with front cover and tray card art suitable for printing. The music on
this release is copyright Phil Ogison 2008 and may not be used or
reproduced without the artist's express permission. If you like
the work of Phil Ogison, check out his myspace page at

New releases will be added to the ping things site on the 22nd of each
month. In the coming months you'll be able to download exclusive
work from Andrew Duke, Nunc Stans, Ortez, naw, Building Castles
out of Matchsticks, Remora and more. I hope that you'll enjoy their
music as much as I do, and I encourage you to let me know what you
