Electronic Pioneers
O.blaat, a.k.a. Keiko Uenishi, and her laptop computer visit Spinning On Air. A lot of new electronic music will be heard, including material by Toshio Kajiwara, DJ Olive, Marina Rosenfeld, Miguel Frasconi, Lord of Spears & Whiteleaf, and Kenta Nagai. O.blaat will tell us about the "plug and play" scene, where musicians plug their portable electronics into a soundsystem and perform or jam together, and brand new electronic music will be made as o.blaat plugs in her PowerBook into WNYC's console, and plays for us live.
