bMc Circuit Fracturing with ease
Bent Monkey Cage, a California AUDIO Odditorium of NOISE
Bent Monkey Cage and OX (ZERO X) CIRCUIT Fracturing CIRCUIT BENDING LIVE Noise Performances on the West Coast USA. [BENTMONKEYCAGE@aol.com]
Syncopated Industrial NOISE—Gated and Mixed —Chaotic Parasitical AUDIO Induction. Live NOISE Performances the Circuit Fracturing CAGE SYNOPSIS, briefed.
BMC’s cage fracturing approach to circuit bending, is totally different than all that is on the Internet, in that their AUDIO idea generator is 3’rd generation trained. bMc implicitly “knows” the constraints of the sutured electronic audio device, be it keyboards, electronic musical instruments, synthesizers, and/or audio children’s musical and talking toys. Given the right level of noise (corrupted electron flow)- something BMC adds to the hidden layer of a neural circuit network - the network generates anomalied possibilities without wasting time on clearly unworkable solutions. These possibilities are random at first injection, but constant with the use of loop persuasion and sampled or freeform antics..... These patterns or loops, are known as a tempo trajectory spin, (a path, progression, or line of development resembling a physical trajectory that resembles a circle or LOOP) and it can be specified by the user, performer, or simply left up to the device to set, from a selection of pre-programmed manufactured modes. For our test, we let the device set its own trajectory (evil as it can be). Then we use observed matrixed connect grabs with electrical components (conductors, semiconductors, and/or pretender conduction) to corrupt the flow of emphatic audio anomalations. Thus we use the term BENT MONKEY CAGE Controlled Audio Circuit Anomalations or CACA-to create SIN, Syncopated Industrial Noise for the planets weary and musical deprived state. Also look us up on eBay under bentmonkeycage, offering a Circuit Bending guide for pennies.
