Based in Milwaukee, WI, Peter J. Woods is a multimedia performance artist that pulls equally from the worlds of
sound art, theatre, conceptual art, and, most recently, film. His performances rely on stark imagery and overwhelming
soundscapes to create minimal, haunting, and affective experiences. As a musician, he has collaborated with a host of
internationally recognized musicians (Tatsuya Nakatani, Olivia Block, Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes, Alex Kmet
of Climax Denial) and performed alongside many more (Negativland, Aaron Dilloway, Hiroshi Hasegawa, C Spencer Yeh,
John Wiese).

Borrowing from the histories of transmission arts and sound poetry, as well as the ethos of the feedback loop, Hayden Right constructs a contained tapestry of FM radio frequencies that allow the standard broadcasted programs (WYPR, WEAA) to be reconstituted and retransmitted as precarious improvisations. He recently collaborated with Houston-based composer Collin Hedrick for Sutra Records.
