Wobbly

Music has the power to demonstrate that all individuals who have yet to meet are already singing in tune. A DJ with access to the equivalent of thousands of turntables is no longer strictly a disc jockey, or an air traffic controller, or a fascist. Since the early 90's, Jon Leidecker has been performing appropriative collage music under the unintentional pseudonym Wobbly, aiming for extended psychedelic narratives improvised from spontaneous yet coherent multi-sample polyphony. Albums released on the Tigerbeat6, Alku & Illegal Art labels are now joined by selected recent works freely available online, but live concerts are still the only way to really hear a certain kind of music. Previous and ongoing collaborators include People Like Us, Matmos, Anne McGuire, Negativland, Thomas Dimuzio, Tim Perkis, Evolution Control Committee, Blevin Blectum, Lesser, Otomo Yoshihide, Zeena Parkins & MaryClare Brzytwa. Performances are still laptop free.
