Sound + Vision Live: Dan Friel
Dan Friel uses junkyard electronics to play atom-smashing cyborg party anthems and will be joined by video synth builder Todd Bailey.
Sound + Vision Live explores the connections between music and film through a series of intimate concerts featuring live music and original video work.
With a tiny keyboard and a lap full of electronics and Christmas lights, Dan Friel makes some of the heaviest, most psychedelic junkyard pop music ever performed while seated. A former member of the legendary Parts & Labor, Friel has been performing solo since the band dissolved in 2012. His music is full of triumphant melodies, low, snarling bass frequencies, and delay pedal effects that sound like rainbow ice cream melting.
Friel will be joined by Todd Bailey, an artist who builds his own video synthesizers from scratch. Bailey’s work can be seen at his website. A previous collaboration between the two, a video for Dan Friel’s song “Thumper,” can be seen here:
