Via Koelse.org:
"Our basic idea is, that all electronic sounds are just amplification of alternating current, so any device that can be used to produce or modify the current can be used as an electronic instrument. We just take any device, open it, test it, bend it and experiment with it as long as we get it to work in a way we consider interesting.
We work mostly with electronic waste. We do that for two reasons:
1. The stuff we dig from the thrashbins sounds so much better than any pluginshit.
2. Todays digital technology -based lifestyle is not ecologically viable. The lifespan of all devices is getting shorter and shorter, and the amount of consumers wanting all new digital gizmos is rising exponentially. Think about it, how long can this continue?"

I'm sure they were thinking about the environment when they sprayed paint all over this abortion.
ReplyDeleteYes we have painted it, and we will paint what we will have to paint in the future as well.
ReplyDeleteWe are no saints, we do consume things and our actions have obviously consequences for the enviroment. We know that.
Still we hope that people could see the bigger picture, we are trying to figure out sustainable forms of audioelectronics, it may be that we will have to stop painting things at some point, but otherwise we work mostly with recycled components and try to think about all materials we use.
And we do not actually have many painted instruments.
