"As Beatrix*JAR, Bianca Pettis and Jacob Aaron Roske are known for coaxing unusual sounds from common items such as children's toys and other battery-powered electronic gadgets. The DIY process is known as circuit bending, and the results are audio collages that can range from whimsical and amusing to dark and disturbing. However, in the hands of Pettis and Roske, the experimental music manages to sound warm and inviting, and often comes with block rocking trip-hop beats." - Active Dayton

LET'S MAKE SOME SOUNDS!
"We spent most of our youth stuck in the mind-set that music must sound a certain way, that musical instruments are THIS… and if you have never been trained to play music then you have no right to be a musician or even think about making music. Approaching music in outrageous ways and circuit bending gives us a new vocabulary to express our love of music and to create a world where musical expression is not limited to just those people with formal training. We believe that anything that makes sound can be a musical instrument." - Beatrix*JAR

"...a night of new sound that will change your idea of music forever!"

- Sarah Carter, The Buchtelite - Akron, Ohio
