fidget is erin
anderson. she is perhaps best-known for her work as one-half of flowchart
alongside sean o'neal (a.k.a. someone else). a long-standing
and influential member of philadelphia's experimental/ambient scene, erin
has performed around the globe in cities like barcelona, berlin, london
and glasgow. in 2001, she took a trip nevada to perform at the burning man
festival where she brought along her trusty minidisk recorder and recorded
hours of interaction with the crowds. with these field recordings, non-linear
editing techniques, and digital effects, she has created a richly-textured
abstract audio collage on her debut album, pams and other conspiracies
(zenapolae). more recently, fidget took first prize in
the philadelphia laptop battle 2. and she went on to co-produce
the featured track for fashion designer jay mccarroll during his final exhibition
aired on bravo's project runway throughout 2005.
erin is also a trained visual artist with degree from moore college of art
and design and a member of the renowned artist collective space 1026. as
a musician and visual artist she considers herself primarily a collage artist.
she focuses on dissonance and dynamics--things that are a bit crooked and
sarcastically funny. the overlooked and the mundane of everyday elements
are juxtaposed with still more mundane elements until they collectively
make up a wacky and thought-provoking space, scene or story. |
