univac —  "Delay Line Memory B", Bent//Broken 2023, International Circuit Bending Festival, 3/25/23
Channel: univacTechDweeb
Date: 2023-03-29

Bent // Broken 2023 streamed ~14 hours of sensational international circuit bent mayhem made especially for your ear- and eyeholes, with 100 worldwide artists contributing their audiovisual work.

This festival was wrangled by the tireless and unstoppable Echolightwave Unspeakable and streamed on his twitch channel, despite the initial dropouts due to high wind and foul weather at his broadcast home-base.

The circuit bent audio gear I used: The Demonic Relic (Halloween candy bowl), Blue Pop Tragedy (Casio PT-1), Tiny Flaccid TubbyBox (Microsoft/Actimates interactive Teletubby), BooperGees (BeeGees Rhythm Machine, initially Booperized by David (The Weatherman) Wills of Negativland; fixed and updated by me for Peter Conheim of Negativland), Opera Daisy (singing flowerpot), Nice Cube of White Noise (British Speak’n’Learn thing), Math (Speak’n’Math—where I found the glitched phoneme of “Oh, shit!”). These can all be seen on my website techdweeb.com

Video Gear: "Bent Idiotic Device" a joystick-controlled circuit bent Sony XV-D300 Digital Video Adapter, and "Happy Boy" bent Archer Video Enhancer, titles generated by Videonics TM-1 Video Title Maker, along with Roland V-8 Video Mixer and a Focus Enhancements VX-4 video mixer playing with their own internal feedbacks, and a fucked up Elmo B/W CCD security camera feeding back beautifully off a 12” LCD display.

Enjoy!
