humans and the machines

when i started using electronic instruments i got interested in the relationship between humans and the machines. i quickly discovered that machines can be basically anything. indeed, the definition is: "an apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task". in this definition, a guitar, a drumset, or a flute is as much as a machine as a synthetizer.

with this in mind, i curated a series of shows at Hart Bar in Bushwick, NYC, where i invited performers that i admire that have - in my humble opinion - interesting approaches to use their "machines".

i was humbled to have hosted artists such as: Tall Juan, Billy Martin, Joanna Mattrey, Seth Faergolzia, Diego Las Heras, Chaka Benson, Eric Lane, 5Tok3...
