My new instrument




I have two new lives coming up, one in Tartu, one in Tallinn. In Tartu it's the annual Eclectica festival. Partly for that I made a new instrument to use in my performance. It's a bit noise oriented. A french Vtech smartbook, that I circuit bent with the help of a real electronics pro. It's wonderful seeing someone open up the circuit and read it like an open book.

Together we turned the half defunct toy into a french noise machine. I will include a sample of the sound.

The two performances will rely mostly on the N0NStars live, but the one at eclectica might start with a more minimal touch.
