Etta HarBar
Circuit-bent toys, no-input feedback and breakcore from Utrecht's trash heap
Based in Utrecht, Netherlands
HarBar drives circuit-bent toys, hacked electronics, no-input mixer feedback and samples into clipped breakbeats, gabber kicks and harsh distortion. Beats arrive fast when they arrive at all; other passages stretch into bass-heavy drone, screams and unstable electronic squeal.
