about

Improvised performance in the Rat Room using the The Fort Processor and Chernobylizer. These are psychogeographic noise synths and sound manglers, designed by Isn'tses (Tim Drage and Lisa McKendrick). They have an interface of touch panels and knobs that are interconnected.

The shape of the Chernobylizer and the placement of the touch panels is modelled on the Chernobyl reactor. From the Isn’tses blog on the development process: “We want the noise synth to reflect some of the sounds associated with the reactor, the disaster and cleanup. Noises such as the draining of power to reactor 4 as it was switched off - followed by the explosion - are a key idea for us. The synth will also evoke the sound of Gieger counters, warning sirens and malfunctioning electronic systems. These crucial moments and those following are something we focused on when finding the kinds of sounds that the synth will create. The noisy dissonance of disaster, cover up and exploitation. How does something sound when it is about to change history for the lives of many, a decision made, mistakes, negligence by officials, a cover up of the true effects of the disaster. “

The Fort Processor was designed for a sound installation and performance in the tunnels and bunkers of Newhaven Fort, Sussex, and reflects the geography of the site and the surrounding landscape. Both instruments, and the other tactile noise generators as well as the Analog Ordnance modulating hex oscillator, were built by Greg Potter
