WobblyMarch 19, 2006
*Name: My name is Jon Leidecker and I record and release music under the project name Wobbly
*Do you use a pseudonym? Though Wobbly originally began as a group project in Santa Barbara in the early 90's, I'm the only continuing member and the band name has become a bit of a pseudonym, something to live with.
*Members: Myself; up until 1995 there were frequent contributions from Jason Brown and Chris Ball as well as anyone stopping by the studio that day.
*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: Collage music might be a helpful descriptor but I don't plan on being limited to it.
*Location: Currently residing in San Francisco. Was born in Washington D.C., moved to Contra Costa County in 1983, college in Santa Barbara, moved to San Francisco in 1994.
*What is your creative/artistic background: Wrote fiction until I was 13, then abandoned that suddenly for music shortly after moving to California.
*History: Solo cassette albums date from 1985, there have been other collaborations dating from the same time, notably Known In Bakersfield with Tim Meany which lasted from 1991 to 2000. I was also an active member of the group Sagan from 2003-2005.
*Motivations: It would take a great deal of effort to stop.
*Philosophy: Finding harmonies between seemingly independent or irreconcilable voices.
*How would you like to be remembered: Someone helpful
