Untitled #1
Consisting of an old circuit bent drum machine, 2 transistor radios and a standard mixer, this set-up captures the electro-magnetic frequencies emitted by the chip of the drum machine and transforms them into sound. The transistor radios are used to drive the electricity (they're both turned off, just used as conductors/pick ups) and their outputs are plugged into the mixer.
The outcome is a pure, high pitched, rhythmic sound based on the pre programmed patterns that the drum machine's internal chip is putting out.
