Fredo Viola

Audio Visual Artist based in Woodstock, NY. He received much attention (and a twelve thousand dollar overage bill from Earthlink) after posting a video to the internet entitled "The Sad Song". The video had been produced using one hundred fifteen second jpeg movies created with his Nikon Coolpix 775 still camera.

Fredo Viola produces multi-layered vocal music using only his voice, with a range of other exotic live or electronic instruments and sound effects.

In 2004 Fredo Viola had a piece licensed for use in Jonathon Demme's film "The Manchurian Candidate." In 2005 he had four songs licensed for use in Mike Binder's film "Man About Town", for which he produced a second version of his "Sad Song" Video.
