Ergo Phizmiz

Ergo Phizmiz (not his real name) is a young, UK-based multimedia artist who is difficult to pinpoint. He has done many "radio-art" shows (some of which last longer than a half-hour and are often comprised of many parts). He is also renowned for his work doing covers of famous artists' work with his own signature twist which often means using a small orchestra that sounds more like a group of gypsies then a chamber quartet. There is a very humorous side to his projects which comes through brilliantly. A lot of his works are available for free as mp3s on his website

I found out about Ergo Phizmiz after reading a small article in Wire Magazine which really sparked my curiosity. After a few downloads from the artist's website, I went ahead and ordered one of his albums.
