About Carly Ptak
NOISE project runs by Carly Ptak (along with Twig Harper, jointly aka "Nautical Almanac") is an inspired transplant to Baltimore from Chicago, homesteading in their performance space-cum-laboratory "Tarantula Hill" on a desolate stretch of West Pratt street. Dedicated to a snarling and seething aesthetic built up from broken parts of the discarded techno-culture, Ptak is an expert at what has been called "circuit bending"--the practice of violently rewiring existing commercial hardware to turn it against its own philosophic basis (ie., a limited notion of what it means to "function.") Her improvisations tap directly into the heart of breaking equipment and frying circuits, with a huge appetites for directly lived situations and the sacred unrepeatable. http://www.heresee.com/cptak.htm http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Carly_Ptak http://artonair.org/residency/carly-ptak-idea-machine http://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/carly-ptak http://www.vice.com/read/carly-ptak-159-v15n10 http://www.discogs.com/artist/329078-Carly-Ptak http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Carly_Ptak/Prepare_Yourself/
