VIDEO: Phillip Stearns CFL feedback performance

17 NOV 11

The artist Phillip Stearns delivered a lecture on experimental electronics, circuit bending, and using sound to create imagery and vice versa.  Stripping away the traditional vibration-based tonal instruments and performing instead solely through selectively filtering feedback loops running from mixer to compact fluorescent bulbs and back to the mixer, Stearns is able to create an experimental composition as in the video above.
