Born in Cambridge in 2002, ONDA combines voice, violin, and percussion with laptops and live signal processing to explore the infinite possibilities of timbre, from white noise to amplified rocks to overtone singing. ONDA extends the language of Boston's "lower-case" improvisers to the limit of intensity, from explosive violence to frozen silences.
ONDA has performed at avant-garde venues The Red Room in Baltimore, Boston's Artists-at-Large, Qingping Tea House, and Zeitgeist Gallery, the Knitting Factory New York, ArtSpace New Haven, and Portland's Strange Maine. The group inaugurated the electronic music series elastro, hosted by the experimental performance space 3030 in Chicago.
ONDA is:
Ken Ueno - extended vocals
Hillary Zipper - violin
Tim Feeney - percussion
