EBN - Dreammaster

[CTC Command]

EBN Bio (from Wikipedia)

Emergency Broadcast Network is the name of a multimedia performance group formed in 1991 that took its name from the Emergency Broadcast System. The founders were Rhode Island School of Design graduates Joshua Pearson, Gardner Post and Brian Kane (author of the Vujak VJ software). Kane left EBN in 1991.

Josh Pearson, EBN's charismatic front man and principal performance artist, was also EBN's music composer and main video editor. The music and video editing techniques he personally developed and refined have been hugely influential on a generation of advertising and music video editors. The EBN modus operandi was to take cable television broadcasts and remix them with a funky beat, often having the lyrics "sung" not by a singer but by half-second sound clips from TV, spliced together. The group also became well known for their media sculptures and stage props which were created by Gardner Post.

I caught these guys in Providence about 8 or 9 years ago opening up for DJ Spooky. Very surreal. Here is a clip called Dreammaster.
