SNOWBIENT: AUDIO TEXTURES PART 1

Ousia headlines this ambient-music party. Their What Is a Four? is an elusive, often impossible album that buries funk breakbeats in a keyboard-sampler drone. Sound awful? In fact, it's kinda mesmerizing. Also playing are the equally cyber-sexy Myriad, and Skye Clad. But the night's most memorable treat may come via a cameo by Ana Voog. The former frontwoman in the failed art-pop band The Blue Up?, she recently had her chest bolstered to size double-D, all in a situationiste attempt to "reinvent" herself as a multimedia anti-celeb. Anyway, she's got a very successful Web site and a new record, ana.voog.com, out soon. I gotta admit it; I'm intrigued. $5. 8 p.m. First Avenue, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.
