Described as “a 60 minute continuous mix of some of the best genre-refusing, zero BPM, hypnotropic and maximinimalist recordings that have grabbed their attention”, we’re really quite pleased to be part of it!

Thanks very much to :zoviet*france: for their support!

Thanks to Daniloff Productions and Nocturne for their support, and thanks especially to Steven Severin for letting us open for him and for all of his inspiration over the years!

Now that all of the excitement of Hallowe’en is just a memory, we’re getting very excited about our upcoming show with Steven Severin in Toronto next week!

If you’re planning on coming to the show, Rik has a limited number of advance tickets available for sale for $25 (cash only). You can either buy them from him in person at the Ambient Ping at Supermarket in Kensington Market on Tuesday November 6th or you can send us an email at info@kaltemusic.com to make alternate arrangements to meet up.

We hope we’ll see you there!

We are very pleased to announce that Kalte will be opening for Steven Severin at Nocturne in Toronto, Ontario on Saturday November 10th. Mr. Severin will be performing his new score to the classic film Vampyr, and we hope that you’ll be able to join us for this very special event.  Click on the poster to the left for more information!

Thank you very much to Daniloff Productions  and Maggie Morgue Promotions.

Thanks very much to everyone who made it out to our show at the Ambient Ping! We had a wonderful time playing with our friends dreamSTATE, and the light show by General Chaos Visuals was quite striking. Thank you also to all of you that tuned into the Livestream broadcast of the night, we were very happy to be able to perform for some of our friends that live a little farther away from Toronto. If you didn’t have a chance to watch last night, an archived copy of the show is posted at http://www.livestream.com/theambientping so you can enjoy it at your leisure.

If you have any pictures or video of the show that you’d like to share with us, please be sure to let us know because we’d love to see them!

Over the next few weeks we’ll be focusing our energies on SubZeroArts‘ presentation of LIGHTSOUNDPLAY! at Nuit Blanche Ottawa in September (visit http://www.subzeroarts.com/ to find out more!), and we’ll have some more events to announce in the months to come. We’ll keep you updated on everything as it gets confirmed!

Thanks again, we’ll be seeing you soon!

Kalte

The Ambient Ping, August 14th

We are very pleased to announce that Kalte will be returning from a particularly deep hibernation cycle to perform an appropriately dark and mysterious set to mark the Ambient Ping’s 13th anniversary on Tuesday August 14th at the Supermarket in Toronto.

We’ll be playing two sets, the first in collaboration with our good friends dreamSTATE as part of their year long drone cycle project, and a second set of Kalte-y goodness ranging in style from delicate Icelandic lullabies to crushing avalanches of Antarctic sound. We promise a performance that will entertain and delight the coldest of hearts and the most isolated of souls, and we may have cookies too.

We’d be delighted to see you there, and you can find out more at http://www.theambientping.com/

Find out more at the Paper+Sound blog or listen to a 30 minute super ambient mix of all four tracks by Heiki on the Paper+Sound Soundcloud page.

In addition to the Hypnagogue review site, be sure to check out John’s excellent Podcast as well…

We are thrilled to announce that Kalte will be opening for Steven Severin’s performance of Music for Silents featuring Jean Cocteau’s “The Blood of a Poet” at The Drake Underground in Toronto, Ontario on Sunday August 28th.

Our good friend Liisa Ladouceur will be doing a Q and A with Severin at the show and DJ Darkness Visible will be spinning Darkwave throughout the evening.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for this very special event, please visit the Drake website or the Facebook event page for more information.
