Three Mixers | Tijs Ham

Three Mixers is a live electronics performance which combines the expressive sonic landscapes of feedback mixers with digital processing in SuperCollider. The setup takes its inspiration form the classic DJ rig, two sources of sound on the sides and a mixer in the middle. But instead of turntables, the soundsources are modified feedbacking mixers, combining no-input and circuitbending techniques. The sounds come together in a digital mixer which works as both a controller and soundcard. Supercollider code is being controlled through the newly developed Modality toolkit which ties all of the sounds togehter. Three Mixers investigates the borders between chaotic behaviors and digital control. The project was funded by the Stimuleringsfonds for e-culture (NL) and has been developed at STEIM and BEK.
