Radboud Mens

Dutch sound artist, composer and sound designer. He started creating noise-machines in 1988. In the early 90s he attached contact mics to dog’s brushes that he used to destroy vinyl records by scratch-playing them, boosting the signal through broken cassette-decks and recording the results. He also made rhythmic-noise using a broken turntable. In 1994 these experiments were released as a two CD set by the British label i under the project names Hyware and Technoise. To achieve the full effect, listeners had to shuffle-mix the two discs together themselves.

His music has been released by Staalplaat, Mutek_Rec and Audio.nl to list a few. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
