It’s Monday and I must make Redbots… happy work for this onehumanbeing.

Build Time…

I’m looking to have 50 new Redbot Ownership Kits ready by later this week, and that means a lot of little pieces have to be made, assembled, collected into kits and processed.

Time for the onehumanmachine to work overtime…

Q: Are We Not Men?

Without music, there is no Redbots — one inspiration — Mark Mothersbaugh and DEVO!

Your host, Jon, onehumanbeing, along with his beautiful wife Tania and her family, had a great time at the Soundwalk this evening in the Art’s District of downtown LB.

One installation that really impressed me was a guy sweeping the sidewalk with his broom hooked to a microphone that got fed through some effects and then played back to headphones attached to the sweepers waist.

A very straight-forward piece — just grab some headphones and tune in to the wonder of sweeping sounds… seemed like something Wayne from The Flaming Lips would use on-stage. Unfortunately I don’t know the name of the artist crew that did this piece.

Another cool piece was by a crew called HOLLOW BODIES that created a mesmerizing sound blend with numerous effects, tape machines and interactive sound boards — met Nolan from this crew — would love to see more of their work…

The piece that Tania, Derek (Tania’s brother) and I wish we could have stayed longer at was the piece by the Hop-Frog Kollectiv that was a 5 hour spiritual cleansing mediation of sound performed in a U-Haul truck in a parking lot — if you like long meditative drones that get under the skin and into the supernatural frequencies you would have loved this piece…

Several Redbots got posted along the way…

…and I got to give away a number of the special edition buttons that I’ve made to celebrate Long Beach arts and artists this month…

I’ll be carrying a supply of buttons with me this month — so hit me up for a freebie if you see me around — one of my great joys is giving away my buttons…
