[Noisebridge-discuss] More music & hacking: Beatrix*JAR @ Noisebridge, January 27th or 28th

[Gian Pablo Villamil]

These guys contacted me, they sound interesting. Like Tristan and
Lesley a couple of weeks ago, they do a circuit bending workshop, and
a performance. Ideally they'd like to do this at Noisebridge, either
on the 27th or 28th of January.

What say you?

Hi Gian:

We are Bianca and Jacob also known as sound art duo Beatrix*JAR. We
received your email from Leslie Flanigan and Tristian Perch.  We are
planning a tour of California in January and wonder if you might be
able to fit us into an evening of sound at Noisebridge. We're looking
specifically at January 27th or 28th.

We tour extensively and have been featured at various Music Festivals,
Night Clubs, Universities, Museums and Art Galleries all around the
US. Our goal is to spread the good word of electronic recycling with
Electrifying Sound Collage Performances and Hands-On Circuit Bending
Workshops.

We've included information about our work below. Please feel free to
contact us with any questions!

Best,
B&J

BEATRIX*JAR PERFORMANCES
Celebrate a night of new sound that will change your idea of music
forever! (Sarah Carter, The Buchtelite – Akron) Singular Sound Art Duo
Beatrix*JAR are irresistible. “Armed with a soldering iron, cursory
knowledge of circuitry and an unflappable DIY ethic, nearly anyone can
transform a banal children’s toy into a glitching sputtering objet
d’art. Beatrix*JAR have mastered both the art and craft, creating a
dizzyingly original noise from those gadgets normally resigned to
attics, swap meets and eBay. In their hand’s you’ll not have the
capacity to resist.” (L. Young, Free Times – Columbia, SC)

CIRCUIT BENDING WORKSHOPS
Hands-On Circuit Bending releases your sonic boundaries and transforms
your perception of sound. Workshop participants take apart
battery-powered sound devices and manipulate the circuit board to coax
unusual new sounds the manufacturer never intended. A direct result of
experimentation and play circuit bending is instantaneous and anyone
can do it.
