Kasey Knudsen Music

Kyle's music draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, from video games and internet memes to jazz and classical masterworks. The arc of a Dance Party performance ranges from images of nature to Japanese Anime scenes to Swing, Hip-Hop, and Rock grooves. In addition to original music, Kyle also writes arrangements of well-known and popular songs of all kinds, while still retaining the unique sound and excitement for which the Dance Party is known.

Fremakajo is the avant-garde rock and experimental music quartet formed by the legendary English multi-instrumentalist and composer Fred Frith. Known as a co-founder of the seminal avant-rock collective Henry Cow, Frith launched this new ensemble to explore a playful mix of sturdy, quirky riffs, structured compositions, and headlong free improvisation. Notably, while Frith is world-famous for his boundary-pushing guitar work, he exclusively plays the electric bass and viola in this specific project.
