FaMished AMerika

With two radio receivers and sound processors, Susanna Hood and Nilan Perera create improvised compositions that can occur only when and where the performance occurs. Classical, easy listening, jazz, urban, dance, world, newsradio, classic rock, sports, specialty & community channels. The radio band, from the highbrow to the sales channels are inclusively shredded and collaged into works of poignancy and power. It is a sound experience that comes from the community where it takes place.

FaM / AM has been performed in Toronto at the Ambient Ping, two years running as part of the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio Art, and Winnipeg’s Send and Receive Festival of Sound.
Performance length is variable, though the minimum length should be no less than one half hour. In terms of space, we need only enough room for ourselves and our equipment
