Sonic explorers dig up machines and media from the past and situate them in range of genres (from experimental and ambient to synthwave and future bass). We’ve raided the music department's vinyl stash and sampled every out-of-tune harpsichord and pump organ we could find. Resurrected machines include a living Gameboy, Alpha Juno, modular synth, Fairlight CMI, and prepared piano, all played lived live with reactive visuals.

Using textiles, thread, hair and electroplated objects, Porch created visual mechanisms that reorientate our sense of the familiar and forge connections between the present and past.
