RADIO WONDERLAND

Special added club date and Sound Symposium shows

nospam@example.com (Joshua Fried) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:41:00 -0700

Thanks to popular demand, Alison Corbett, Craig Squires, and the Sound Symposium crew, RADIO WONDERLAND will perform in an actual club with actual room to dance, in a semi-official Sound Symposium gig Wednesday night in St. John's.

A number of folks said they wanted to dance, but it took Alison and her effective combined skills of knowing everyone and laughing infectiously to make it happen.

So as of today the Newfoundland RADIO WONDERLAND schedule looks like this (not counting opening night, which triggered the extra gig, but which is already past):

10:30 pm Wednesday 7 July 2010
CBTG's
38A Water Street, St. John's, NL
Enter on George St. at Holdsworth Court.
709-722-2284 - nominal cover charge
With the weekly Klezmer party!

10:30 am Thursday 8 July 2010
RADIO WONDERLAND workshop and rant
CHORAL ROOM, MUN School of Music, St. John's NL - free

7:30 pm Friday 9 July 2010
Cook Recital Hall, MUN School of Music
Mark Fewer & Aiyun Huang (violin & percussion)
Kurai Mubaiwa & Curtis Andrews (African Percussion)
RADIO WONDERLAND

RADIO WONDERLAND's participation in Sound Symposium made possible in part by Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, that's for sure!
Like typical Americans, we're just loving St. John's and want to move here.

Thank you, The Scope.

Five Questions For Joshua Fried

1. Where did you grow up and how did you end up where you are now?

I grew up in LA but NYC controlled me like Einsteins spooky action at a distance. I always knew someday Id live in an apartment, hang with artists and go on adventures worth telling stories about. I went to college upstate and moved down soon after graduation, to spend as much time as possible in clubs and lofts. Not all of those adventures are worth telling stories about.

2. Which performance, song, play, movie, painting or other work of art had the biggest influence on you and why?

Probably a tie between Another Green World, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Both share an impersonal sheen, flat affect, consummate technique and formal rigor, while evoking an intense individual experience. And that experience can be transpersonal as much as emotional.

3. What skill, talent or attribute do you most wish you had and why?

The ability to channel obsessive energy, meter it, and charge by the kilowatt. Seriously though obsession takes me places but its a wild horse.

4. What do you do to make a living? Describe a normal day.

I listen to recorded conversations for the NSA, wrap them up in canvas bags and insert them manually into non-volatile RAM. Thats on Mondays. Then on Tuesdays I extrude the best parts, sneak them out the trash chute, and run them over to Santos Party House where the DJs pay me in Twitter Dollars up front. The rest of the time I gig with RADIO WONDERLAND or else I kick back, but I do shave my head every other day.

5. Have you ever had to make a choice between work and art? What did you choose, why, and what was the outcome?

Yes, starting from about age 20, but I didnt know it at the time. I realized much later that the choice was always arf, I mean art. The outcome was pre-ordained by the Rent Stabilization Board.

Thank you Milan, Venice, and specifically Massimo, Vittoria, Michele, Guiseppe, Camilla, ALTAVOZ and ElitaMilano. And for that volcanically-induced forced vacation, Tullio & Co. and B & B's inimitable B&B.

I felt like a rock star. Love it when people dance to RW.

Just can't stop it

nospam@example.com (Joshua Fried) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:27:00 -0700

I'm working on recordings for vinyl/high quality MP3/CD, based on many many hours of live RADIO WONDERLAND documents.

So I have been shying away from performances.

But when Bushwick calls, and when Warper calls, I listen. See below for March 7 and March 10th shows [er, this just in--NWEAMO has been trying to work out dates for RADIO WONDERLAND in Italy--now Milan and Venice are confirmed for April--what is going on?]

Thanks everybody

Thanks to all who came out and DANCED at recent shows. Three down in October (Providence, San Diego, NYC), and one more to go:

Next Friday, 23 October 2009, 8pm,
in that very classy annual
RADIO FESTIVAL NYC
presented by the Transmission Arts organization,
free103point9.
Ontological Theater
St. Mark's Church
131 E. 10th St.
New York, NY 10003
Sliding scale $7-10

Also presenting work that night are the very intriguing murmer and rise set twilight. They might be called Transmission Artists, radio artists, sound artists--I don't know--and for myself, as a matter of principle, if it's made of sound, I call it music.

Call it what you like, this should be a stimulating evening. There won't be much of a dance floor, but there are always aisles, no?

Come early for Tony Martin's installation and instrument Light Pendulum. The three-day festival includes site-specific radio walks, a transmission arts workshop, and many performances.
