The Fuse Factory | Columbus, Ohio

Frequency Fridays heads into its third year, featuring sound artists, electronic musicians, and experimental musicians from Columbus and central Ohio, as well as Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Arizona, North Carolina, and California. Frequency Fridays is a monthly performance series featuring visual and sound artists, musicians, makers, and technologists whose experimental work with diverse media investigates the migration of computing out of the desktop PC and into the physical world. Each month, Fuse Factory curators produce a public event involving kinesthetic expression, sonic exploration, and immersive environments made possible by computers, the ‘net, mobile technologies, and homemade instruments. Our curation is inclusive: we do not select performers based on genre. Rather, we are most interested in improvised and aleatoric experimental music that is challenging, uncompromising, and exploratory. The Frequency Fridays series is strictly invitation only – we do not accept unsolicited proposals, and we draw heavily upon the touring musicians and artists we host throughout the year.

All performances take place at the Wild Goose Creative (2491 Summit St., CMH 43202); doors open at 8pm; admission $8 (two for $10) unless noted. Our 2012-2013 Frequency Fridays season is generously sponsored by the The Greater Columbus Arts Council.
