The Peeesseye and its many offshoots (Phantom Limb & Bison, Pee in My Face With Surgery, collaborations with Tetuzi Akiyama and Stephen O¹Malley, releases on Utech, Chocolate Monk, Archive, etc.) have been slinging mud and clawing at the foundations of the experimental noise underground for five years now. They've released 5 CDs and a 7 inch (all on Evolving Ear) in that time.
The Peeesseye¹s classification confounding music has been characterized by certain sage voices as ³coming off like a punk rock AMM² (Edwin Pouncey, the Wire) and like ³a slightly more western canon focused Sun City Girls² (Volcanic Tongue). Family Vineyard honcho Eric Weddle recently wrote in Signal to Noise that "Commuting Between the Surface & the Underworld, Peeesseye¹s new and fourth full-length, is arguably the most remarkable smorgasbord of back porch minimalism, sound poetry and urban decay of recent memory."

The Somnambutone broadcasts sounds to accompany dreams. This radio series is like a game of telephone, where each original composition is drawn from the last. The sound passes from musician to musician in the hope of replicating the unexpected and consistent changes we see in the dream scape. Tune in every Sunday night at 2 a.m. and close your eyes. The Somnambutone is an audiovisual, unconscious experience. Organized by Sarah Margaret Halpern.

Tonight's guest composers -- Dutch Masters (Matt Wellins and Josh Tonies) -- present 'Woolslayer,' a piece recorded in Braddock, PA using tape recorders and electric organs. The Somnambutone is a weekly program featuring music to accompany your dreams.

free103point9 Executive Director and Bard Alumni (Class of 1996), Galen Joseph-Hunter, presents free103point9 and Transmission Arts. This event is organized by the Art History Department at Bard College. The presentation will be streamed live on free103point9 Online Radio. The talk begins at 7:30 p.m. free103point9: Transmission Arts
Galen Joseph-Hunter (Bard 96')

free103point9 is a non-profit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating Transmission Arts. This genre includes experimental practices in radio art, video art, light sculpture, and installation and performance utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum. free103point9 was originally founded in 1997 as a microcasting artist collective in Brooklyn, NY, where its mobile operations made airtime available to community voices, local bands, and most significantly to a group of under-served artists shaping conceptual works specifically for radio transmission.

“Transmission Arts” is a conceptual umbrella that unites a community of artists and audiences interested in transmission ideas and tools. Transmission practices harness, occupy and/or respond to the airwaves that surround us. There is an inherent “liveness” to this work. In a performance-based setting, audience members are newly engaged, becoming participants rather than passive viewers and listeners. Installation or sculptural transmission works are often dependant on the present, reacting to whatever occupies the surrounding frequencies in a single instance, or changing that information by adding new signals to the spectral environment.

Wave Farm, free103point9's upstate New York location is located on 30 pastoral acres in the northern foothills of Catskill Mountain Park, 33 miles northwest of Bard. Wave Farm programs include artist residencies, a study center, a transmission sculpture garden, and a outdoor summer performance and exhibition series.

On Sunday, April 22nd, artist Matt Bua will present the first of a series of workshops in conjunction with his forthcoming installation "Sing Sun -Room" for the Wave Farm Transmission Sculpture Garden. Made possible by Artists & Communities, a program of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Bua will work with a group of local middle and high-school students to create elements for his interactive sound sculpture installation. In this first meeting Bua will introduce the students to the "Sing Sun - Room" project, speak about his artistic practice, and present past work. The workshop will be streamed (audio and video) on the free103point website. Special thanks to Dharma Dailey and Barbara Rovitz for facilitating the student participation for this project.

Tonight's guest composer is Nicole Reisnour presenting 'Night in August (99)' for tuned wine glasses. Reisnouor's composition calls attention to aspects of sound that we are taught to ignore while replicating the experience of sleeping in an unfamiliar place.
