duo of: 
Anna Friz- sound and radio, from Montreal and  Toronto 
Eric Leonardson- springboard, from Chicago 
and duo of: 
Jack Wright- muted saxophones, from Easton PA 
Andrew Drury- scraped and toyed-with percussion, from  Brooklyn 
A night of free radio and free music: free103point9  transmission artist Anna 
Friz favours instruments that breathe and oscillate;  employing accordion, 
concertina, harmonica, theremin, radio samples, ambient  field recordings, and 
voice to conjure unusual sonic spaces. For Chicago sound  artist Eric 
Leonardson instruments lie in the detritus of everyday life. He  employs a self-made 
instrument that he calls the Springboard, an electroacoustic  percussion 
instrument made from inexpensive and readily available materials.  Joining them will 
be a duo with legendary saxophonist Jack Wright and  percussionist Andrew 
Drury. Members of the NYSAE, Edmund Mooney, Andrea William  and Andrea Callard 
will play field recordings. 

Co-hosted by _The New York Society for Acoustic  Ecology (NYSAE)_ 
(http://www.nyacousticecology.org/) , a membership organization dedicated to exploring 
and  promoting public dialog concerning sound in NYC, _free103point9 _ 
(http://www.free103point9.org/) is a nonprofit arts  organization focused on 
establishing and cultivating the genre Transmission Arts  by promoting artists who 
explore ideas around transmission as a medium for  creative expression. 

Anna Friz and Eric Leonardson

ANNA FRIZ is a  sound and radio artist who divides her time between Montreal 
and Toronto. Since  1998 she has predominantly created self-reflexive radio 
art for broadcast,  installation or performance, where radio is the source, 
subject, and medium of  the work. She also employs instruments and electronics to 
create dynamic,  atmospheric works equally able to reflect upon public media 
culture or to reveal  interior landscapes. Anna is a free103point9 transmission 
artists.

ERIC  LEONARDSON has been performing in Chicago since 1982. He creates sound 
for  theater, film, and live performance with an invented instrument he calls 
the  Springboard. Leonardson's work has been described as "...ritualistic 
music,  electronically synthesized industrial vibrations miraculously created with 
 ordinary household objects...."—Carol Burbank, Chicago Reader

Jack Wright  and Andrew Drury

JACK WRIGHT has been a saxophonist  of strange music since the late 70's, and 
one of the touring-est musicians  around.  He wears shorts in all kinds of 
weather so he can mute against his  bare leg, which is his trademark. In Europe 
he finds like-minded  players and lures them to the states. Known to play with 
everyone, but actually  he only plays with people who interest him musically, 
which is still a  lot. He may be obscure but he comes close to doing exactly 
what he wants,  and that is no simple matter for any of us. 
ANDREW DRURY drums with  people in homeless shelters, Indian
reservations, jazz and free improvisation  venues, Central American
villages, juvenile "corrections", poor neighborhoods  all over NYC, and an
Ivy League graduate school.  His newest project is  a percussion quartet
featuring Mike Pride, Michael Sarin, and Jim  Black.
