About Me

YOU CAN GET THESE DISCS HERE IN THE SHOPBeta Cloud, (or 'the beta cloud'), is an ambient/drift/electro live performance and recording based labor of love, composed and performed solely by C.T.Pace; a western classical and jazz educated performer based in New York, USA. Beta Cloud aims to span the sonic ground between avant/improv/instrumental performance and ambient/drone/dj sound installation. All compositions are performed improvised in real time with analog synthesizer, analog effects, piano, trumpet, prepared guitar and real time sampling. Noise, hiss, and dynamic peaks, sub and supersonics are intentional and controlled to ensure a maximum lo-fi listening experience. The aim of Beta Cloud is to provide intensity, relaxation, positive aggression, and a sense of passionate response to all listeners.To date, BETA CLOUD has had the pleasure of sharing live performance experiences with: AIDAN BAKER, NADJA, JAMES PLOTKIN and TIM WYSKIDA, SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY, WOLF EYES, NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLIGIES, TODD MERRELL, OCEAN, BLOODY PANDA, NOVELIST, TEETH SO SHARP, (Abdale, McMullen, and Midaugh), Z's THE BAND, YIP YIP, and many others. C.T. Pace is also an active member of the power noise outfit-GOLDEN DAWN TRIO, (Mutus Liber/Beta Cloud/Vowels), is a performer with THE OPEN MUSIC ENSEMBLE,(openmusic.us), as well as other projects in several genres. Most recent live collaborations include performances at Nuit Blanche 07'- Toronto Ca.; with S.R.F., (Kevin D.), and PHOLDE/KNURL, (Alan B), GOLDEN DAWN TRIO, (Mutus Liber, Vowels, Beta Cloud), Aidan Baker of Nadja, Ryan McMullen of Novelist, and a live performance of Will Redman's BOOK for large ensemble. retro layout @ http://www.freeuniquelayouts.com/ - Movie Layouts - Music Layouts - More MySpace Layouts! - MySpace Tools
