Greetings Friends!
On Monday evening, January 12th, Anomalous Disturbances (aka Terrence O'Brien) will be performing live in Vancouver, BC for the first time in over a year, at The Beaumont Stage. The ongoing weekly Vancouver City Limits event is being re-christened - for this night only - Vancouver Outer Limits, in keeping with the performances of improvised ambient soundforms.
Also performing will be special guests, the wonderfully eccentric group, Slowmobile.
And to provide a feast for the eyes, visuals by Vancouver's VJ Mediavictim.
Please join us for this evenings mix of unique sonic environments and visual immersion.
-------------------------------------------
Emanating from Vancouver, BC, Anomalous Disturbances, aka Terrence (Terry) O'Brien, creates ambient soundforms. Utilizing his ever-expanding rig of sonic discombobulation ---- an array of guitar synthesizers, sound processors and looping devices, through which he plays his guitars ----- Terrence constructs mixes of ethereal washes, snaking drones, ghostly melodies, bleeps, bloops, swooshes, disembodied voices and the occasional found sound/field recording.
Currently, Terrence is completing two CDs; "Archive Two" - a double album of recordings from 2001 - 2008 and another album called "Inside", which features his brothers Chris and Wayne on percussion, beats, EWI, samples and synths. These are scheduled for release in early 2009.

Slowmobile is an introverted musical gang of three or more, established in 1986. We met just before expo and soon found out we all liked tape echo. Due to an aversion towards public performance in our youth, thanks to an 'incident' at our first scheduled show, slowmobile holed up every tuesday in a warehouse on Main st. in Vancouver (except for 1995, when christoph went away and yvan swore off music for eight months). There we created many kilometres of improvised ambient sounds and planchette music. We've always recorded live off the floor and mixed slowly afterwards, as if there's a gigantic hourglass on the roof. Now, in 2009, we are still combing through an unreleased back catalogue and are ready to emerge, with long beards, to find a slightly warmer, greatly changed country.
