Electromagnetic Matsuri Parade<\/em> is an exciting new kind of festival by ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!, one of the 2023 CCBT artist fellows. It features the titular giant float that generates electricity for the Electromagnetic Festival Music Troupe playing instruments made from modified old household appliances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The old TV roars, the fan hums, and the neon buzzes. Here\u2019s our electromagnetic festival parade led by a generator float. Now, let\u2019s make some noise.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Led by the artist Wada Ei, ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! sees different kinds of people collaborating to resurrect disused household appliances as new types of musical instruments that form a unique orchestra. During its time at CCBT, ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! has held open studio events and workshops to create the float, instruments, and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of these efforts is Electromagnetic Matsuri Parade<\/em>, a whole new kind of festival, featuring the Generator Festival Float and original household appliance musical instruments, all based on ideas proposed by participants in the events. The Generator Festival Float has solar panels to store and generate electricity, which is then used to power the musical instruments. The parade will involve sixty musicians and performers, stretching thirty meters as they process while playing the \u201celectromagnetic festival\u201d music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience a very contemporary, collaborative space bringing together different fields and disciplines, from music to art, engineering, science, and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen household appliances have served their purpose and returned to the wild, they transform into electrified supernatural creatures and begin to sing. The heart of the festival beats in the generator float, powered by electricity generated from sunlight.Supplying electricity from the float, old appliances are resurrected as musical instruments. Parade through the electromagnetic wilderness. Now, let\u2019s make some noise!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
