A HOPE concert veteran, RADIO WONDERLAND turns mass media into recombinant funk, processing live FM radio with a Buick steering wheel, four old shoes hit with sticks, knobs, buttons and custom code. As well as for RADIO WONDERLAND, Joshua Fried is known for his They Might Be Giants remixes, and for putting headphones on downtown New York City's most mercurial stars. Fried has performed at Lincoln Center, The Kitchen, CBGB, a Stuttgart disco, a former East Village bathhouse, a Tokyo museum, and the Dutch Royal Palace. Art guitarist Fred Frith soloed on Joshua's first single, and he has produced or remixed artists from Chaka Khan and Ofra Haza, to avant-drone master David First. His recordings have been released by clang, free103point9, Trace Label, Tellus and Atlantic Records.
