“Electromagnetic Noise Live Performance” is a project consists of a series of home-made electronic instruments, circuit bending, hardware hackers, and analog errors by Soundwatch Studio. The performance combines a sound of electromagnetic wave, images on the screen shows various abstract linear patterns due to the vibration of audio frequency, and plasma magic light. The uncertain electronic frequencies and the changing rhythms interfere with each other. Energy is therefore liberated from the electronic sound created by primitive technology when the flow of energy is not completely controllable.
