[MrOtty23]

Not all novelties are good novelties. i don' t like it

[Triames]

Now that was awesome. Could you please explain how it works?

[tnobs]

@Triames He lines up a series of old Braun tube televisions in raw / DIY aesthetics Nam June Paik would have been proud of. Using hacked videocassette decks and turning his hands and his whole body as a sort of antenna, he triggers sounds from the visual patterns emitted by the screens.

The old tvs are converted into loud percussive and musical instruments, generating analog sounds and lights similar to those you can listen or see in a Pan Sonic concert.

@tnobs Thank you for your response! I am an electronic musician and I am really interested and curious about the technical details of this perfomance, could you please provide any or tell me where could I learn more about it?

I mean, is it midi, a max/msp patch, arduino, modified tv circuitry...?

[tnobs]

@Triames I have just seen him, and had a short talk, but google for his name or the title and you will find more info or maybe contact him directly.

@tnobs thanks, I'll see what I can find
