Minneapolis sound artist Ben Severns channels deep bass and glitch-lit shrieks through analog & digital circuits—circuit-bent toys, tape decks, scavenged radios, cats, loose change, and Dept-of-Ed hold-music drones. Live, he assembles longform collages that rise, fracture, and exhale: industrial clatter, tape hiss, and noise shaken into cathartic ritual. Forgotten objects cameo. Earplugs advised;)
