Radio 4x4 at 'Rock's Role (After Ryoanji)' (AD025)
free103point9 DVD release for Radio 4x4 at 'Rock's Role (After Ryoanji)' at Art in General in Manhattan May 8, 2004 featuring Andrew Neumann + David Galbraith + Gabriel Burian-Mohr + David Matorin. This hour-long performance features the four sound artists each playing into an FM transmitter, with radios around the room playing the sounds. The mic moving among the radios "mixes" this Radio 4x4 performance.
Radio 4x4 is a free103point9 installation and live performance by four performers and audience members. Four simultaneous audio performances are separately transmitted through FM transmitters to radios positioned throughout a performance space. Each radio receives only one of the signals, so that the audience becomes an active collaborator in the performance, ìmixingî the audio feeds by moving about the space among the four signals. The artists perform both individually on independent radio frequencies, and collectively.
Matthew Spiegelman recorded and prepared the DVD.
