Friday Night, All Right, It’s minusbaby!
minusbaby recording sounds of the Replicator for future performance at MakerBot
Future MakerBot Artist-in-Resident minusbaby came to MakerBot’s BotFarm this past week to collect and record sounds from The MakerBot Replicator. Although different from MakerBot’s Cupcake and Thing-O-matic, The Replicator has its own unique style and tone. Minusbaby will be exploring its musical potential through a performance later this summer involving other musicans and musical MakerBots. Some booty shaking to be had.
From his bio:
Richard Alexander Caraballo began his minusbaby project in 1999 to explore the diversity of a lo-fi, compositional aesthetic and has since progressed experimentally in its scope to include elements guided by those roots and a sonic language representative of his influences, namely: the art of bass and how it moves asses.
In addition to music, he is a prolific pixel artist who, since 1999, has been largely responsible for defining the unique aesthetics of the modern 8-bit creative movement. Spearheading the visual identities for 8bitpeoples, Pulsewave and Blip Festival has contributed to making his work ubiquitous to the public’s perception of chip music and art. His work, which he has referred to as, “a practice in primitivism, but mostly a stab at trying to continue several traditions at once,” is often guided by a central idea meant to be triumphed by the individual.
