Fall 2010
More KINGDOM SHORE shows coming, one with Capillary Action at Le Temporaire, an encore performance of the Phantom Of The Opera at the beautiful and always thoughtfully curated Mayfair Theatre, a performance opening the Electric Fields Festival in Ottawa, with accompanying stereoscopic projections by video artist Christopher Payne, a final farewell to the monster that is Ottawa's Buried Inside, and a few more shows to push our luck before the mass blanketing of snow that will grind our lovely city to a halt and send us all inside to our loved ones.
Currently recording a 12" of two pieces for electronics, field recordings, samples, processing, no-input mixer mayhem, gangs of pedal noise frying circuits and pounding breakers, a 175 piece string orchestra and a frenzied and vae solis channeling choir. All for a spring release to send us gleaming into more shows in the new year. More news to come as we tighten this thing up.
Still a long time incoming, the - Exodus 7" - If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right, and we're taking the time to make sure that it is. See below for more information.
Mark Molnar will be performing with the Quasar Saxaphone Quartet in Montreal in October, and is currently working on a piece for the Quasar to present in early 2011.
Spring 2010
Coming soon - Exodus 7" - featuring the full band, with a b-side Etching, and packaged in an artisan designed, bound, gatefold casing made from recycled material. Mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market Mastering.
Also upcoming, there are KINDOM SHORE shows raining down through the fall, to be announced soon, along with two more full length recordings for string orchestras and deep and twisted heaps of snarled electronics that are gaining ground every hour, film scores, and plans plans plans; always plans stepping forward. Shows listed to the right and HERE.
In the meantime, here is hand-held audience recording of KINGDOM SHORE made by one of our heroes , JFBlanchette, aka. Sinequanon (buy his music here), live at the AvantGarde Bar on December 8th of 2007, - Remove This Doubt -
Vulnerable, interminable, honest, willful, stubborn, exuberent, and near ecstatic, the Pleasure Through Sound music series is still running here in our home town. There is now a website where you can see the latest news, and events. There are several shows in the works to round out this year, and a listening series where a single album will be played through a very good sound system, offering you a chance to get clear of the babel shuffling mp3 plague and hear some music in uninterupted and glorious fidelity. It will also provide you a chance to prepare yourself, show up, slow down, and sit quietly to hear an album unfold in its entirety, through the best sound system we can find, and on the best format that it was made available in. Any money charged will cover costs and send the rest directly to the artists and musicians who made these records. More information on the PTS series can be found HERE.
If you are interested in hearing from us personally about any of these shows and events in our hometown, you can send your e-mail address to: pleasurethroughsound (at) gmail.com and you will be added to the PTS mailing list.
You will not be inundated with loud missives of passive but beligerent hyperbole, nor will you be made complicit in a campaign of sociopathology. Finally, you will only get 2 messages per event, one in advance, and one close to the date as a gentle reminder. No one with genuine interest will be left behind.
Kingdom Shore - ...and all the dogs to shark is out now. See Releases and Order for more information on how to obtain one of these records or cds.
