Live high voltage sound manipulation, homemade electronics and circuit bending. Mike Taylor, director of Sky Movies networked media and participant of the discussion panel I was on at ENTER_UNKNOWN Territories thought it was noise, Bob Stein enthusiastically shouted “I love noise!”. Can they do the exact same Performance tomorrow? No, it’s Jazz! Indeed the noise grooved. In the national Grid Performance + Support music was generated directly by playing with high voltage and manipulating circuits. One of the guys told me after the show, that one of the tubes they used actually radiated x-rays during the performance (only for a couple of seconds and he assured me that I did not have to worry about not wearing lead underwear). Visually the show was great too and being blinded by flashes periodically added to the experience. Unfortunately my phone had run out of batteries and I could not take photos. Many people did though and I hope that I can nic something from someone else’s blog or Flickr album in the next days. Here are some links: Bugbrand, Bad Timing, Animals On Wheels
