Highwire Gallery Tuesday 5/22/12, Alternative Interfaces

On Tuesday 5/22 Electricity for Progress will be presenting ‘Alternative Interfaces’. We will explore modified and custom circuits being used as ‘effects’. Accompanied by Geoff Bucknam, we will run guitar signal through 1.) the apple distortion, 2.) an open-face modified pedal 3.) the Barbie Karaoke Machine.

Human interaction with musical audio effects can to be limited to knobs and stomp switches. By using extended objects, like hands and apples, we will present alternative interfaces for making, controlling, and modifying sound. Have no fear, there will be ample knobs and switches on hand as well!

Please join us on Tuesday 5/22 at Highwire Gallery in Fishtown, 7:30p, $6 https://www.facebook.com/events/376131412430851/
