WAVE FARM and WFMU and ARTxFM are teaming up to bring you a weekend focused on the creative and experimental nature of radio.

We invite fellow radio makers, station staff and volunteers, engineers, and enthusiasts to join us in Jersey City for performances, workshops, and conversations around experimental potentials of radio and the ways that creativity can serve our communities and listenership. FM, LPFM, and internet stations from across the East Coast and beyond are welcome. More info. 

Tonight we're airing three live events from the Jersey City stage. 

8:00 PM Performance/Demo: Demon Box
Developed by Eternal Research, the Demon Box transforms the hidden electromagnetic world into sound, signal, light, and data. It captures frequencies from everyday electronics like phones, drills, and TVs, then converts them into audio signal, MIDI data, and control voltage.

9:00 PM Performance: RADIO WONDERLAND
Joshua Fried, performing as Radio Wonderland, transforms live commercial radio into a funky electronic collage. His software creations include The Re-Shuffler, which deploys slices of radio across a rhythmic and melodic grid to create instant techno. The Re-Esser extracts the sibilance and plays those S, T, and K sounds like a drum machine, while Anything Kick morphs slowed-down radio into a bass drum to shake the dance floor.

9:30 PM Performance: Laenz
Laenz improvises with live electromagnetic signals through software-defined radio scans and concurrent radio transmissions. The resulting soundscape recalls the distinct sensory effect of an ‘ambient-noise mall.' Laenz is a sound artist based in Brooklyn, NY, working within radiophonic textures and caliginous dance music.
