press go to do some more
We're going to this tonight at the Visionary:
Friday • March 9 • 7PM: Circuit Bending Workshop with Beatrix*JAR
The Minneapolis-based sound-art duo, Beatrix*JAR, pays a special visit to AVAM to reveal the secrets of circuit-bending: the art of coaxing new and surprising sounds out of recycled battery-powered toys. Your old "Speak & Spell" never sounded so good! In this hands-on workshop, rework the innards of battery-powered sound-making toy(s) or small keyboards and bend the sound with the force of your will and creativity and a little solder. Followed by an improvised performance. Bring a battery-powered sound-making toy(s). Bring a date. Check out www.beatrixjar.com. Call 410.244.1900 to sign up. $15 members; $25 non-members.
I'll be sure to post the results of butchering my Barbie toy here in mp3 form.
There was a pretty productive Mafia meeting this week. It looks like the craft fair is going to be June 23rd at the 2640 space at St. John's (corner of St. Paul) and sponsored by Red Emma's and Monozine.
