John Duncan
John Duncan, born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1953, has worked for decades at the cutting edge of performance, video, experimental music, installation and pirate radio and television. He played a pivotal role in the performance art of 1970s Los Angeles, often at the limit of the bearable, in the experimental music of the LAFMS, and later in the noise and pirate broadcasting of Tokyo. His sound work uses shortwave, voice and signals at the very edge of hearing to unsettle the listener, on records such as Riot and the disquieting The Crackling, made with particle-accelerator recordings.
