This month’s podcast features three live recordings from 2023, all of which include either bowed, or circuit bent instruments.
It begins with a performance with conceptual cellist Irman (who also contributes some keyboard) which was recorded at Telephone in Pittsburgh, PA.
Then, there’s a recording from drone day 2023 featuring Tamalyn Miller on horse hair fiddle and Thom Uliaz (burnkit2600) on circuit bent electronics.
Finally there is a very quiet performance that took place across a table next to the kitchen in a civil war era boarding house at XFest 2023 in New Hampshire. This one features the circuit bent Casio MT-240 of Cryptwarblr and I am playing a Bastl SoftPop. Both of us are using the instruments internal speakers.
This month’s podcast features the circuit bent sounds of Burnkit 2600. Its super droney, crunchy, filled with great textures and generally delicious. We cover a lot of sonic territory, so strap in and enjoy the ride.
Welcome to podcast forty! Featuring the homemade and circuit-bent instruments of Electr(on)ic Chakra (John Lutz). I met John a few years back when I bought a synthesizer from him (it was a micro-brute). He was my entry point in to the weirdo music scene in the Hudson Valley, so its great to finally have him on the podcast.
This one is extra-textural and droney; probably best played extremely loud or very quietly. Try it both ways, what have you got to lose?!
