The Bent Festival is an annual art and music festival celebrating circuit bending and its related creative practices: DIY electronics, hardware hacking, glitch, software art, abstract video. Each year artists are welcomed from across the country and around the globe to share their craft through performances, workshops, video screenings, art exhibitions, and installations.

The end of the year NIME show is here again. NIME stands for New Interfaces for Musical Expression. It is a course at NYU’s ITP where students build their own electronic instruments and visual interfaces from scratch. Even the projects that don’t exactly work entirely are entertaining and earnest.

Here are highlights from last year. Some totally great stuff. One of my personal favorites was by Karla Calderon. Watch the ending when she points the camera at the audience’s mobile devices.
Some interesting past class projects can be found here.

This article mentions that there are a few Pirate Radio stations out on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn pumping out Caribbean Soca Music.
I’ve heard one or two that seem to disappear on the weekdays.

The article also has a great road mix that becomes perceptually shorter each time you listen to it.
