(København) BEND-ORAMA koncert: Elektronisk legetøj og bastardinstrumenter

Der bliver spillet på plastikkeyboards, farvestrålende rytmebokse og et utal af andet batteridrevet børnelegetøj, når AUX og LAB inviterer til BEND-ORAMA koncert i PLEX Musikteater søndag den 6. maj kl. 20. Men legetøjet er ikke til at genkende – i hvert fald ikke på lyden.

I dagene op til koncerten har 20 lydentusiaster og teknikfreaks circuit bended legetøjet, dvs. trukket nye kredsløb og modificeret legetøjet til underfundige, støjende, skrattende og hvinende instrumenter.

Både koncert og workshop dirigeres af kunstnerne Sarah Washington og Knut Aufermann, der er i den absolutte verdenselite hvad angår circuit bending.
Gå ikke glip af muligheden for at opleve en unik koncert for circuit bendede bastardinstrumenter!

PLEX Musikteater, lille sal
Kronprinsensgade 7, indgang gennem baggården
søndag den 6. maj kl. 20
Entre: 20 kr

Fra onsdag den 9. maj udstilles de circuit bendede instrumenter i Lobbyen i PLEX.
