Pioneer Works on The Lot Radio

Featuring Daniel Fishkin

Tune into Pioneer Works' monthly residency on The Lot Radio featuring current and past artists-in-residence. The Lot Radio streams live online from an outdoor space in Greenpoint, BK, where you can watch and listen to the radio in person.

The ears of Daniel Fishkin—composer of musical instruments—are ringing. Daniel studied with Maryanne Amacher and with multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart. He has performed as a soloist on modular synthesizer with the American Symphony Orchestra, developed sound installations in abandoned concert halls, and played innumerable basement punk shows. Daniel’s lifework investigating the aesthetics of hearing damage has received international press; as an ally in the search for a cure, he has been awarded the title of “tinnitus ambassador” by the Deutsche Tinnitus-Stiftung. He is the only luthier that studied directly with the daxophone’s inventor, Hans Reichel; Daniel’s instruments have traveled the world, including Canada, California, Norway, Germany, France, Japan, Kazakhstan, and Australia. Recent instrumental research include the Arbrasson, a friction idiophone hailing from Southern France consisting of a notched log, which when rubbed, emits birdsong. Daniel received his MA in Music Composition from Wesleyan University, and has taught courses on instrument design and electronic music at Bard College, NYU and, Ramapo College. He is currently a PhD Candidate in Composition and Computer Music at the University of Virginia.

The Lot Radio is an independent, non-profit, online radio station live streaming 24/7 from a reclaimed shipping container on an empty lot in NYC. Expect a continuous stream of the best and most varied music New York City has to offer.
