"A collection of electronic voices that sound as if they are all singing through the same throat."
A special live sound collage performance by Wobbly of Negativland on a theme of Climate Crisis. This event will take place in our upstairs reading area.
Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly) is a human in the loop, making music with people and machines that listen. Improvisations with recorded sounds and machine listening manage to blur any clear distinction between his solo and collaborative work, which includes touring and recording with Negativland, the Thurston Moore Group, Jennifer Walshe, Zeena Parkins, Zoh Amba, Dieter Moebius & Tim Story, Matmos, People Like Us, SUE-C, Fred Frith, Thomas Dimuzio, Sagan and Huun-Huur-Tu. Labels that have released his music include Hausu Mountain, Illegal Art, Deathbomb Arc, Bureau B. His lectures on the secret histories of electronic music have been presented at Mills, Stanford, Oxford, UC Berkeley / Davis / Santa Cruz, MACBA and Peabody Conservatory. In 2015 he inherited Negativland's long-running Over The Edge radio live mix program, which continues to broadcast on KPFA FM in Berkeley.
This event is part of Everybody’s Climate 2025: Connect with others to address the climate crisis in ways that are meaningful to you, from poetry and music to science and practical action. See full listing of events here.
