Bent: Before you got into circuit bending, what type of music or art where you into?
punk, rock 'n'roll and twist
Bent: How did you get into circuit bending?
After a show of the Doorag duo (Tucson, Arizona) impacted by the weird sound effect from the drummer Thermos Malling, we tried to make the same with our band from the time, Las Solex. Little by little we started shaping the circuit and the plug-in and the plug-out. Then we quit guitars, bass and drums and kept on playing with bended "doorags"
Bent: Where do you find inspiration for your work?
beyond the limits where object turns into trash for one and opportunity for the other, same with sound.
Bent: What is your take on the bending community at large? Where are you in it?
so far when somebody call his bended instrument "doorag" we know they built it after our manual, workshops or advice. For the moment is frequent in Spain and we hope that soon will be the same over the ocean.
Bent: Is there anything you want to accomplish while you are in New York?
play everynight and learn new tricks to bring back home. Some museums are welcomed too; any advice?
Bent: Who are you most excited to see at Bent? Why?
any surprising and unknown act as "I did not know that could be done. I didn't know she could do that"
