4 Women, 12 Legs. 120 DEN!

Music Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

The Cologne based ladies' quartet 120 DEN, founded in 2019, plays with modified mannequin legs, which become independent electronic instruments through guitar strings, contact microphones and built-in synthesizer elements. The resulting sounds range from subtle caresses to overflowing tapestries of sound, to knee-jerked death metal passages and conceptual electronic textures. The experimental leg sound is of course also supported orally.
