School of Meat
Cutting Workshop



A workshop in low life circuit bending,
blasting, and building. Using the circuits from various electronic
detritus and building your own circuitry, you will learn to create
and construct psychotic synthesisers and noise machines. In the
workshop you will use raw flesh or rotting meat as a resistor (vegan
Tofu option available) for the creation of hybrid and mutated noise
machines for use in live performances.
By the end of the workshop you will
have learnt how to circuit bend, blast, and build; rewire basic
electronics; build noise machines with 555's and CMOS chips;
integrate unconventional, everyday objects into your circuits; and be
adept at soldering.
All participants will also take part in
a public performance at the end of the workshop.
Workshop participants take away what
they've made with them at the end.

Andy Bolus (aka Evil Moisture) makes
modified electronic toys, rewiring circuits such as those found
inside children's talking computers and other electronic detritus,
using the aleatoric sounds generated as source material for hi-speed
cutup sound, as well as making installations.
In addition he
produces a catalogue selling these alien objects, and has exhibited
them several times, most notably in Spiral Garden (Aoyama, Japan) in
1998, treesaresospecial 
(tokyo japan) & honsono (osaka japan)
in 2005. They are also sold in shops such as Bimbo Tower (Paris), Los
Apson (Tokyo) and Kurara Audio Arts (Tokyo).
He has performed 100s
of times in Japan and Europe under the name Evil Moisture since 1991,
as well as releasing dozens of cassettes, 4 vinyl LPs, several cds
and cdrs on numerous
noise labels.
He has worked with artists
such as Yamantaka EyE (Hanatarash, XoX, Boredoms), Hironori Murakami
(Vomit Lunchs), Erik Minkinnen (as Intertecsupabrainbeatzroomboyz)
Andrew Sharpley (as AA) Noel Akchote (as Lenny Kravitz U.K), John
Weise, Howard Stelzer, 
Rudolf Eb.er (Runzelstirn &
gurgelstock), as well as manufacturing modified toys for Luc
Ferrari's last recordings, and making headphone equipment for "le
placard" festival.
He has conducted interviews for
"Bananafish" magazine (USA) and written reviews for others
such as as E.S.T. (UK), and his graphic works have been published by
