Circuit-bending workshop @ Roskilde festival 2011

Circuit Bending workshop @ Roskilde festival 2011 from Obernkarbi on Vimeo.

As part of the Your Space area, Obernkarbi and Anders Børup were invited to do a series of workshops in Circuit Bending.

Circuit Bending is somewhat like the art of hacking and breaking circuits in battery driven toy-instruments and other sound-giving toys in order to (un)obtain controlled bit-chaotic sound collages, variations of “Old McDonald” in §-minor etc.

The workshops were held as open sessions so everybody could come by and have a try in the world of circuit bending.

At the end of the day, each session ended up with a concert were all participants were invited to join in and give a blast with their newly bended noice-makers.

The workshops were held sunday june 26th and friday 1st of july from 12-20 hrs.

Anders Børup and Obernkarbi are part of a rare species among orchestras: The true and pure Circuit Bending band “CEO: Bend-o-Rama”, that does Circuit Bending concerts and workshops (among others at Roskilde Festival 2010).

Makrosession with CEO

In january 2010, Jerome Fignou, a french artist was invited to Copenhagen by gallery Pixel. His job was to investigate and videoshoot different underground musicians and bands and make a series of video-performances from this gathered material.

His session with CEO ended up with this video.

Enjoy!
