Dirty Electronics & Max Wainwright - Radical Chip Party (featuring Unrivalled Jetsam)
Wee Red Bar, Edinburgh College of Art
Wednesday 22nd May 2019, Doors 7pm - Free (by donation?)

Dirty Electronics & Max Wainwright launch their Radical Chip for the Mute Synth 4.0 and stand-alone DIY circuit that explores a music made from mini microprocessors and raw electronics that is always in-flux, noisy and may be overwritten. Expect full-blown overflow aesthetics with minimal resources and maximum amplitude.

John Richards explores the idea of Dirty Electronics that focuses on shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. He is primarily concerned with the performance of large-group electronic music and DIY electronics, and the idea of creating music inside electronics. His work also pushes the boundaries between performance art, electronics, and graphic design and is transdisciplinary as well as having a socio-political dimension. Dirty Electronics has been commissioned to create sound devices for various arts organisations and festivals and has released a series of hand-held synths on Mute Records.

Max Wainwright makes experimental electronic and acoustic music, involving free improvisation, adapting to complex systems, and making & using terrible instruments. He does solo and collaborative performances, installations, sculpture, radio pieces, chamber composition, video work and more. As an artist, he is concerned with states of flux and how useless or broken objects can be sounded. He likes to engage audiences and things in conversation, creating instruments, trading, donating or receiving things, and performing on these. Using these, he explores human-technology interaction, deconstructing live performance, futility and effort, and performing through inactivity.

Unrivalled Jetsam is a collaboration between Martin Parker, Jules Rawlinson and Dave Murray-Rust, a networked laptop trio trying to find new accommodations between people and technology for expressive noise making.

In the words of Martin Parker “I think sound is at its best when you know what you’re doing but you don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Jules Rawlinson designs sounds, visuals and interactions, and performs with live electronics. Jules is one-third of Raw Green Rust, a laptop trio with Owen Green and Dave Murray-Rust, that try to make a virtue of the confusion of agency that collective laptop music can exhibit, and his solo work with laptops and modular synthesisers is characterised by gesture, detail and texture.

Dave Murray-Rust researches the messy areas between humans and computational systems. Musically, he improvises using laptops and controllers, trying to make computer performance as responsive and generous as possible. He is one-third of Raw Green Rust and a core member of Edimpro and Grey Area, exploring how computers, acoustic instruments and scores can all be layered around improvisational practice.
