Radio Wonderland_20110521 (Audio)

May 21, 2011
A live weekly radio performance by Joshua Fried.
Fried's Radio Wonderland turns the very bits and bytes of commercial culture into the driving backbeat to our dance of independence. In this developing solo, Fried abstracts live FM radio with laptop, electrified shoes hit with sticks, and a computer-hacked steering wheel (from a Buick 6.) His software creations include AnythingBass (wind up random radio into a down-low riff,) the Re-Esser (extract the sibilance, play those S's, T's and K's like a drum machine,) and Anything Kick (morph slowed-down radio into a bass drum to shake the dance floor).
