Bad At Sports

This week: Two for the price of one! We have two interviews, first one of Duncan's heroes, Iain Baxter& and then sound and installation artist Bill Fontana. Join us in NYC on the East River for our Kiron Robinson interview on March 17th! Bill Fontana: b 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio; sound artist. He studied philosophy and music at the New School for Social Research in New York, with Phillip Corner and others. Following a prolonged stay in Australia, he was a guest artist in Germany and Japan. The composition of sound sculptures began in 1976; Fontana has since produced a large number of works in this genre. The compositions and live sound sculptures realised for the Studio Akustische Kunst of the german radio station WDR have been of central importance for Fontana's artistic development; they include «Distant Trains», Metropolis Cologne, «Satellite Ear Bridge Cologne – San Francisco», «Journey Through My Sound Sculptures», «The Sound of an Unblown Flute», «Soundbridge Cologne - Kyoto».
