LIKEWISE - What is ELECTROMAGNETIK PUNK?

Ei Wada is a Japanese artist and musician who is reinventing the ways we produce music. He performs using instruments of his own creation, where he frankenstein's old home appliances such as fans and TV’s into instruments that output mind-bending electronic sounds.
He leads Electronics Fantasticos, a collective who arrange interactive performances, that synthesize music, technology and art. The sound and energy of their music has birthed a new genre, self titled ELECTROMAGNETIK PUNK.
Ei Wada recently revealed his latest project ‘Barcode Boarding.’ This concept relies on the communication of electromagnetic signals between barcode scanners and printed barcode patterns. He demonstrates how they can be used to modulate an audio signal and create high or low pitches by scanning barcodes of different sizes. Wada's infectious energy will keep you hooked as he creates a musical experience you may never have heard before.
