NOISE!

a sound performance festival

Each year the Ontological-Hysteric Theater Incubator hosts a Noise! festival, a three-night multi-arts event designed to promote interest in new forms of sound art. Now in its fourth year, the festival will feature short compositions and performances by established and emerging artists. For the second year, the Noise festival is co-produced by free 103 point 9 Transmission Arts and curated by free 103 artists Tianna Kennedy, Tom Roe and Damian Catera.

Each evening opens with a Radio 4x4 as the audience enters the theater. Radio 4x4 is a free103point9 collaborative radio transmission performance. Four simultaneous audio performances are separately sent through FM transmitters to radios positioned throughout a performance space. Each radio receives only one of the signals, so that the audience becomes an active collaborator in the performance, "mixing" the audio feeds by moving about the space among the four signals. Other artists will perform each evening.
