plays a dark and distorded instrumental trip hop music where dense orchestrations rub soulders with ravishing beats and noisy minimalism. Influenced by Amon Tobin or even Venetian Snares, their music claims to be cinematic and dissonant.
BROKEN DEVICES is supported by WEIRD NOISE
?One second from falling?, their second experiment created for live performing, will bring together two protagonists of the first show ?Anger or silence?. Echoing our modern and technological world, this visual and sound performance raises the question of the ?point of no return?: when will it be too late to turn back ?
The artists will be able to improvise and interact with music, video and lights. The visual research will focus on a fine, minimal and powerful marriage between light and video.
« Anger or silence », their first experimentation on stage is a show halfway between concert and visual performance, plunging the audience in a device combining electronic music, video mapping and 360° surround sound.
Through a poetic and singular story, Broken Devices proposes sharing the absurd vision of a character with muddled ideas. Their music shoves the epic of this man, walking his madness in a world that's beyond him. The audience, voluntary guinea pig of this experiment, is plunged into the twist and turns of this tortured mind.

Talks about madness and bunch of flowers
Talks about a painter that doesn't exist ;
about a Man becoming a child
Talks about mattress and walls
It speaks in a low voice
Yells sweet nothings
Talks to itself
Dreams
Dies to try
Talks about breaking out ;
About fuse box and fuse blowing
Talks about fundamental violence
insulin and hair grass
Talks about running away, bare footed
I'm fine ;
Leaving you now
(...) That's happening again
« One knee on the ground », le premier EP du groupe, dévoile une trip hop instrumentale sombre et distordue, où se succèdent orchestrations denses, beats ravageurs et minimalisme bruitiste.
Influencée par Giacinto Scelsi ou encore Dalëk, la musique de Broken Devices se veut cinématographique et dissonante.
« The last child », titre central de l'EP, questionne la place de l'Homme dans ce monde et dénonce sa prédisposition à détruire tout ce qui l'entoure.
