Paul Amitai with Lady Firefly

(print the poster and put it up somewhere!)

We happily welcome Joshua Fried’s solo project RADIO WONDERLAND back to the LEMURplex stage in October. Also, Paul Amitai with the video artist Lady Firefly, and Glissando Bin Laden and His MusicHadeen will be hitting tranzducer.010 on Friday, October 26. Just to whet your palate… think steering wheels, shoes, midi controllers, vocals, video and improv… all producing fun, electronic music for the masses. Always a sensory experience, the sound is great, the drinks are cheap, and there is just no way to spend a better Friday night on 3rd Avenue.

 

Joshua Fried

RADIO WONDERLAND, Joshua Fried’s solo project, gets all its source material from a live FM radio. The show is completely local, immediate and live in every sense (including different-every-time). No sounds are stored before the performance. Anything picked up over the course of the show is fair game throughout. All processing is in Max/MSP on the laptop, controlled by old shoes hit with sticks and a vintage Buick steering wheel.

Fried has jammed at Lincoln Center, Club 57, Galapagos, the Kitchen, the Dutch Royal Palace, Tokyo’s trippy ICC and a street corner in Gowanus. He’s remixed Chaka Khan and They Might Be Giants and others. He teaches Max MSP and is the youngest composer in Schirmer Book’s *American Music in the 20th C*

His installation work has been exhibited at venues such as Scope New York, Art Chicago, Soap Factory (Minneapolis), and Exchange Square (Manchester, UK). In addition to work as a practicing artist, Amitai has written on electronic arts and culture for New Art Examiner, Signal to Noise, MTV, and The Onion. He was also the creator and curator of the New York Festival of Electronic Composers and Improvisers at the Knitting Factory.

Lady Firefly

Fusing the surreal with the sensual, Lady Firefly (Zarah Cabañas) has splashed her electrorganic videoworks and mixes in spaces, galleries, music venues, and events all over NYC, most recently at the American Museum of Natural History, and at the River to River Festival, Nublu, Tonic (its spirit lives!) and Share. Firefly has participated in festivals in Australia, Spain, and most recently in Russia at the Apositsia III Experimental Music Forum as a VJ and saxophonist; While her video artwork at Blue Man Group has appeared on performances with DJ Tiesto and earlier this month on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

 

Glissando Bin Laden and His MusicHadeen

New York’s Glissando Bin Laden and His MusicHadeen (Alex Ness, Jim Altieri, Meighan Stoops, and Sam Pluta) are a microtonal improvising noise quartet set to terrorize your occipital lobe with their unique blend of droning and crackling violins, clarinets, and electronics.
