Future Sounds Like Past Toys
“Future sounds like past toys” was born by the collaboration of two major artists, that is the musician and circuit-bender EraSer and the video-artist and vj ape5, and it is based on the concept that contemporary music and the music of the future “sounds like” past toys. The project goes back and begins with the experimentation of sound through modification, errors, “bending” of toys, and focuses on their audiovisualization trough glitch aesthetics, creating a digital analogical dialogue (dianalog) between video and audio, exactly between “past toys” and “new toys”. The audio part of the project avails itself of the art of circuit bending performed by the artist EraSer using toys turned into musical instruments that interact, through micro-controllers and electro-acoustic analysis, with a video-synthesis hardware/software and self-made controller by ape5.
