Michael Johnsen (Pittsburgh Modular, US)
Michael Johnsen (Pittsburgh, USA) is best known as a performer of live-electronics using an integrated menagerie of custom devices whose idiosyncratic behaviors are revealed through their complex interactions. His work is characterized by a relative lack of ideas per se, and an intense focus on observation, the way a shepherd watches sheep. Also like sheep, the behavior of electronic circuits is largely dependent on their social interactions.
The extensive patching of large numbers of devices produces teeming chirps, sudden transients and charming failure modes; embracing the dirt in pure electronics.
Recent research work concerns the circuit-level documentation of David Tudor’s “folkloric” homemade instruments.
His work has been shown widely at MoMA nyc, San Francisco Cinematheque, Radio France, Idiopreneurial Entrephonics, and Musique Action. He also co-edits ubu.com/emr which is devoted to technical resources concerning the experimental practice of sound.
