as part of FAXEN
Sound performance, 2006-2011
Modified keyboards, handcrafted interfaces, sound equipment
May He Hetal? is a music project by the artist collective FAXEN which explores the potential of inexpensive, second-hand electronics that produce sounds, such as keyboards, drum machines and electronic toys. Through radical manipulation of the circuits within these devices, one hears the sound of the hardware, which consists of a multi-layered realm of subtle and differentiated sounds. With an emphasis on improvisation and the capriciousness of the rebuilt instruments, FAXEN creates noisy electronic textures accompanied by occasional melodies and broken baselines.
