This Tuesday - April 9th 2002 - RADIO in AMBIENCE
9PM  @ club nia / C'est What - 19 Church St. at Front St.

This special free presentation for Deep Wireless in collaboration with
New Adventures in Sound Art features several experimental artists
making extensive use of radio as a live ambient sound source.

Jakob Thiesen and "audio contortionist" Neil Wiernik (naw) plan
a "soundclash of biblical proportions" using live short-wave radios
being shredded with custom sound manipulation software.
Granular-synthesis is the word of the day as they remix
material from from each others computers on the fly.

Susanna Hood and Nilan Perera will perform with radios prepared
to be constantly scanning through stations, lingering sometimes
on a clear signal and sometimes on the in-between static, bleeps
and whirs. Applying treatments and loops, they will be merging the
signals with electric guitar, voice and other odds and ends. The sound
information from the radio will direct the rest of their sound choices,
from mimicking to accompanying the radio. Sometimes the audience
will hear only their interpretation of the source materials and not
the sound of the radio itself.
