Negativland

The experimental-music and art collective known as Negativland has been recording music/audio/collage works since 1980. Comprised of Richard Lyons, Mark Hosler, and Peter Conheim, they have produced a weekly 3 hour radio show called "Over The Edge" since 1981. They also host a World Wide Web site since 1995 and perform live on occasional tours throughout America and Europe.

Negativland's unique musical practice incorporates found sounds and musical samples into their collage compositions. Their contemporary interest in collage is prompted by the fact that art and commerce have now merged to a degree where corporate commerce finances, grooms, directs, filters, manufactures, and distributes almost everything we know of as culture.
