Humans and Friends feat. Fra Zedde

The day after the circuit-bending workshop, on September 14th, Jam With Humans presents Humans and Friends, an evening of live music welcoming Fra Zedde back to the stage, this time as a performer.

Having spent the previous day teaching attendees to build synthesisers out of radios, Francesco Zedde steps into the spotlight to do what he does best.

Humans and Friends gathers Fra alongside other voices from the collective and its wider circle for a night of performances, in the spirit that gives the event its name.

No tickets, pay-what-you-want!

About the guest

Francesco Zedde (b. 1993, Italy) is a multimedia artist based in the Netherlands. His curiosity is often driven by societal and metalinguistic questions, and much of his work centers on the idea of the musical event as a social practice, employing DIY methods of organization and creation.

This commitment began with playing and organizing concerts and later expanded into diverse creative fields, including hacking, circuit bending, augmented instruments, and interactive installations. In his practice, the use of obsolete and discarded materials holds both rhetorical significance and political weight, serving as a stance of resistance against corporate production and consumerism.

A bonafide player in the international underground music scene, the artist of Italian origin has a career that perfectly matches the values of Jam With Humans: from combining music, visuals and theatrical concepts in projects such as TONTO and Tacet Tacet Tacet, to putting diversity at the foreground of his curation in the long-running series of shows Discomfort Dispatch.
