An evening of analog noise, synth pop and digital glitch from distant shores. First night of their US tour!
Phantom Chips makes her own wearable synthesizers that can be stretched and squeezed to create sound. Her homemade ‘lectronix squeals create bent charm and harsh mangled tones through tactile electronics. Concocting rhythms from an array of homemade electronic instruments, samplers and wearable noisemakers Phantom Chips gets the audience wearing electronics and making noise. http://www.phantomchips.com/audio/

He performs with circuit bent/rewired games consoles/drum machines/synths, camcorders pointed at the audience and glitched up. All his equipment is recycled. By rewiring old redundant equipment hecircuit bends them into new and more exciting instruments. His live performance invokes entropy with visuals & audio that are continuously mutating and interacting - glitching in time.
