Real name: John Olson

In 1997, after a brief study in the Orient, engineering graduate students Paco Underhill and Tao Perre Pepper came to the Midwest and found books about underground music of the 50s. They soon decided to commit their time to making sound with radios. Using circuits and the antenna innards of the common small radio transmitters, the pair wrestle every imaginary cough and damp wheeze the flu-stricken instrument can offer. Tao and Paco use the sounds as a improvisational base and exchange conversations of bug whines and tiny sine pillars of radio sound. Their performances are unnervingly quiet affairs.
