loud4.jpgThe Loud Objects have set the standard for performative live circuit bending. Wielding soldering irons and a ramshackle overhead projector, the New York City-based trio (composer Tristan Perich, programmer Kunal Gupta, and architect Katie Shima) wire up live musical circuits in pursuit of lo-fi electronic noise.

During the opening minutes of their performance, The Loud Objects are surrounded by a bleak silence as they swiftly assemble an initial circuit, their activities starkly projected from their OHP work-surface. Gradually, as more components are added, Perich, Gupta and Shima gradually hack microchips into a swarm of percussive 1-bit noise. Since their debut performance as Columbia University undergraduates in 2005, The Loud Objects have toured Europe, Japan and USA, including performances at Piksel in Norway, Italy’s Screen Music 2, and NIME, Blip and Bent festival in the USA.

The Loud Objects will be at the Beeline Festival in Cambridge, MA, April 5-19, 2009
