SUMMARY:Fuse Fest 2026: May 2026 Frequency Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off a month of Fuse Fest 2026 on the evening of Friday\, May 1st\, we are thrilled and delighted to feature composer/multi-instrumentalist V.Vecker (BC)\, new media artist/didgeridoo player John Hardin (CA)\, a audio-reactive multimedia performance by new media artist CG Ryan (CMH) in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Ben New (CMH)\, and improvisational quintet SHPRD (CMH). Doors 7:30pm\, show begins at 8:00pm sharp. $10.00 prepaid\, $15 at the door. \nSupporters of our 2025-2026 season include the Greater Columbus Arts Council\, the Ohio Arts Council\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the Columbus Foundation. \nAbout the artists: \nV.Vecker is the pseudonym for Keith Wecker\, a composer and multi-instrumentalist based out of Vancouver\, BC\, Canada. His solo compositions revolve around looped sax and synth while the Ensemble takes on a more compositional direction with the added instrumentation provided from the other musicians. The Ensemble is currently Brody McKnight\, David Rogers and Luke Rogers. \nJohn Hardin plays didgeridoo and theremin simultaneously through a network of digital effects\, and controls a bank of audio samples he can trigger at will. These samples include field recordings\, excerpts of vintage media\, and candid interviews. With these elements\, Hardin sculpts a unique sound that transcends time as it flows organically through it\, like the endless dance of earth and water on a living planet shaped by unseen forces. \nC.G. RYAN is a media artist and scenic designer who creates playful\, surreal imagery that she mixes in real time with live music to create vistas of inner and outer space\, layering tangibility with the imaginary. She holds an MFA in Visual Arts: New Media from CCAD\, and collaborates with musicians and directors to create transportive\, immersive experiences for audiences at live events and in theatrical productions. \nBen New is a multidisciplinary artist living in Columbus\, Ohio. His work varies from neurobiological experimentation\, to non-objective formalism\, to therapeutic and neo shamanic rites. He holds a BFA from The Columbus College of Art and Design. \nThe Columbus-based SHPRD quintet features LA Jenkins on guitar\, Etiyen Esheff on synth\, Chris Weldon on a variety of instruments\, Bryan Stewart on bass and electronics\, and Martin Rippel on trumpet and electronics.
