Using only organic materials we will turn electrical confusion into sound
by having it travel through circuits powered by different organic sources to get away from the idea of the battery only as an energy storage system. We invite you to think of the battery as an artistic-experiment, approaching it's changing aesthetic from a different angles - the musical one; to value the organic battery as an unstable noise generator, something that is temporary and commercially insufficient. We challenge ourselves to build organic battery systems from different foodstuff and play it freely as a musical instrument without diving too much into history, chemistry, electronic-laws etc; to discover the most interesting things about the battery - the ways that different materials can affect the battery itself and the function of a simple electronic sound-circuit (miss)playing both of them.
