AudioBody | Biography

"AudioBody is what happens when creativity collides with technology and takes the form of spectacle." -Kate Griffith, Museum LA
Brothers Matthew and Jason Tardy started their performing career in 1994 as young teenagers in a small town in Maine where they presented some sketch comedy at a local community talent show. They were seen by local physical comedian Michael Miclon, who noticed their natural rapport with the audience and invited them to apprentice and tour with him. The apprenticeship opened many doors including the opportunity to train extensivley at the Celebration Barn Theater with Mime Master Tony Montanaro as well as Broadway comedians, gold-medal jugglers, and Cirque du Soleil performers. Enlisting the energy of an atomic bomb and the creativity of DaVinci himself, brothers Matt and Jason Tardy started creating music under the name AudioBody in 2004. Their music was then quickly picked-up by internationally acclaimed film-makers, EepyBird, and featured in two Emmy nominated videos depicting The Extreme Diet Coke and Mentos Experiments.
With the urge to build on this new-found popularity, and having already toured the country for more than half their lifetimes as a physical comedy team, they decided to create a new show that would be the synthesis of music, comedy, and technology. A few years later they emerged with an arsenal of audio-visual inventions, including wearable electronic jumpsuits that play music as they move, LED light tubes that are manipulated at high speeds in the dark, a 16 foot wide electronic drum-set, fluorescent light ropes that form the shapes of sound waves, and countless other unique performance gadgets.
	In recent months AudioBody has taken their performing career to the next level by aquiring their own performance venue, The Freeport Theater of Awesome! In conjunction with touring the country, AudioBody can now be seen almost every weekend for the months of June, July and August at their venue in Freeport, Maine. The members of AudioBody have performed all over the world. Highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, NV and even The White House in Washington DC three times! They have also been seen on CBS Sunday Morning, The Early Show, Inside Edition, and David Letterman. Click here for high quality press photos
"Despite all the digital magic, the AudioBody show is, in essence, a celebration of movement. [They] inhabit the stage together in a way that speaks to spending half their lifetimes thus far as a physical comedy team." -Village Soup
