DSS is a delightfully refreshing viola flavored beverage with just the right
blend of no-
input mixer fortified with enhanced FM transmitters. Just a glass a day and
you'll be on
your way! The secret is a carefully crafted combination of Cassia Streb
Strings, Aaron
Drake Feedback and Phillip Stearns Fizzle-Crack. The kind folk at Improvidrink
Beverages
guarantee an energizing experience in every glass. 9 of 10 agree that DSS will
turn you on
your ear!

"The Pink Canoes are an electro-acoustic improvisation quintet from Oakland,
California.
Their vocabulary is as varied as the instruments they play, which includes, but
is not
limited to prepared guitars, saxophones and laptops to homemade analog
synthesizers,
circuit bent toys and other salvaged electronics. As an ensemble, they run the
gamut of
texture and volume, turning on a dime from chunks of abrasive noise to moments
of
barely audible sound inspection. Oftentimes they strive for the seamless
integration of
instruments, electronics and electronic instruments. Other times the disjunction
between
the aforementioned instruments is so severe that it can only be described as a
chaotic
splattering of electronics amidst a backdrop of sonic depravity. In many cases,
these
extremes occur just mere seconds apart, which only adds to the quirky,
unpredictable
intrigue of each performance. With any luck, they'll tie your synapses in knots.

The Pink Canoes are, in no particular order: Noah Phillips (guitar,
electronics), Zachary
Watkins (laptop, circuit bent electronics), Travis Johns (bass, laptop,
electronics), Ava
Mendoza (guitar, electronics) and Aram Shelton (saxophone, laptop).
