John Hudak

Composer and sound artist John Hudak's collection of electroacoustic miniatures inspired by European folk melodies, Asian street songs, and the inflections inherent in the speaking voices of various peoples of the world; from the murmurings of medieval monks to the songs of birds. Video visual accompaniment and audio collaboration were supplied by Bruce Tovsky. Recorded at Experimental Intermedia Foundation in December 2010.

Hudak concentrates particularly on natural and simple sounds that form the basis of his digitally manipulated audio works. His recent work focuses on the rhythms and melodies that exist in aural environments; sounds that usually remain hidden, overlooked, or obscured. Hudak considers his work to be a reframing and transforming of sound so it can be "noted, admired, and valued."

RADIO SERIES

A radio series of programs recorded at Experimental Intermedia Foundation (EI), the legendary, influential downtown New York loft venue, incubator, showcase, and community center for composers and experimenters in the arts, known for being first and best at presenting (and recording!) new music and new media since the 70s. The concert series is programmed and produced by composer Phill Niblock who has been directing presentations at Experimental Intermedia since 1973 (well over 1,000 performances) and he is the curator of EI's XI Records label. In 1993, he opened a satellite space with window gallery in Ghent, Belgium. For more on the concert series, recordings, archives, and other intermedia adventures of Phill Niblock around the globe visit the Experimental Intermedia Foundation site. This radio project is a partnership between Experimental Intermedia Foundation and The Clocktower Gallery and its radio station at ARTonAIR.org. The series is produced and managed with the generous efforts of Byron Westbrook.
