Adrian Beentjes works on his own simple electronic machines and home-made instruments,
applying a subtle dose of circuit bent electronics which tips over totally; the composition to an analogical universe.
Adrian assembled 555, 4093 and 386 ic’s specifically for this project to explore new
possibilities and basic means.
Also, we can list some elements and instruments used by Adrian : tapehead, coil pickup,
bc8 synthesizer, circuit bent toys, field recording, micro-cassette battery drain, dc motors, piezo acoustic setup, voice, live feedback, and computer process.

Anton Mobin is engaged in a real surgical operation. We assist in biopsy of an audio
cassette and its box closest to the microphone. The cassette is put in naked, opened, tape
out. Manipulation with ten fingers, the magnetic tape is creased, stretched, cut and
rubbed directly in the contact of the microphone.
The plastic creaks, distort then splits… Sacrificed to micro-sound textures of intensities and colors…
It is also question of objectâs diversion, using an audio support to produce sound by itself : here, cassettes are played without players and cassette players are not used to read tape !
Traditional tape head becomes a decoder to transform information of any bank card or
transport tickets in sound.
Mainly those recordings are used in a raw way and some were processed.
