Brian Carpenter is the founder of Free Association, a "free-form radio show".  Free Association has aired on two of the country's most innovative college radio stations, WFIT 89.1 FM (Florida Institute of Technology) from 1996-1998 and WZBC 90.3 FM (Boston College) from 2001-2005. Using multiple turntables and samples, Free Association spontaneously mixes a backdrop of noise and drone with new music and all manner of blips, starts, stops, and pitch-controlled bits of barely recognizable pieces of pop culture ranging from Burt Bacharach to David Bowie to The Del Vikings. Free Association has also been host to special guest artists, including The Dresden Dolls, Marc Ribot, William Parker, and Joe Morris.
