The Loud Objects (Tristan Perich, Kunal Gupta, Katie Shima), a performance trio from New York, work with low-level electronics. Their performances start with punctuated silence as they begin to solder together microprocessors on an overhead projector, exploding into noise when the initial circuit is assembled and new chips are added and rewired. Their entire toolset consists of soldering irons, power and audio jacks, and a handful of Atmel microprocessors, pre-programmed in C via USB from a laptop using tuxgraphics' AVR programmer.
The Loud Objects also produce noise toys and kits and are collaborating with Bleep Labs on a new interactive toy/kit available soon. These instruments are reprogrammable and sample code and support is made available.
Featured at Maker Faire 2007 in San Mateo, the Loud Objects have toured the world, performing in festivals such as Piksel in Norway, Italy's Screen Music 2, England's Evolution, and NIME, Blip and Bent in the USA.
The Loud Objects are Tristan Perich the Composer, Kunal Gupta the Programmer, and Katie Shima the Architect.
