This was a fantastic show! Circuitry Room opened as the duo of Jeff Central (Chenault) and Dan Rockwell. Jeff announced that third member Andy wouldn't be there because his wife had just been diagnosed with lung cancer. So their piece would be titled 'Fuck Cancer'. It was 30 solid minutes of amazing spaced out, rhythmic, darkly freaky and cool electronica. And Adi Newton's performance.... WOW... it was tightly wound blend of music and video. I was very impressed. What a great way to end the week and lead in to the weekend!

Jeff (Central) Chenault
(Noise, Loops, Audio Deviance)

Jeff Chenault is a sonic explorer who has been recording in Columbus, Ohio since 1983. Originally from Port Huron, Michigan, Jeff’s early experiments were unannounced noise improvisations.

In the early 1980's, he founded the ITN/Exoteque Music label and released over 60 cassettes of original music.

His multiple collaborations include James Towning of Fact 22, Mark Gunderson of the Evolution Control Committee, Andy Izold of 10-Speed Guillotine, Chris Phinney of Mental Anguish, Mike Shiflet, David Reed and countless others.

In 1989 he formed the influential cyberpunk band 10-Speed Guillotine with Andy Izold. They would go
on to record a plethora of recordings under various names and styles over a 20 year period.

In 1994 Jeff formed the Weird Lovemakers with Mark Gunderson and Greg Fernandez. Their musical style ranged from electronic lounge to film soundtracks. They performed "live" soundtracks for the
Avant Garage Film Festival performed at the Wexner Center of the Arts. Notable films include Nosferatu, Leaves from Satan's Book, and Maya Deren's surrealist film Meshes of the Afternoon.

Jeff’s current audio projects include Circuitry Room with former 10-Speed band mate Andy Izold and with longtime friend and collaborator Dan Rockwell. He is also working with French theremin player Jimmy Virani and percussionist extraordinaire Dave Cohen as The Escargonauts. Jeff is also working with David Reed (Envenomist) under the name Chalet Endure and are currently working on their first release.

When not recording, Jeff is also a producer, music historian, and preservationist. He is currently producing a series of rare Exotica music for Dionysus Records.

ELECTRONIC COTTAGE is an international magazine where independent artists, musicians, writers and freethinkers share in-depth articles, essays, interviews, tech and gear reviews and tutorials,
and much more.
EC draws inspiration from the Cassette Culture Revolution of the 1980s, 90s and beyond; Mail Art, Small Press and Zines, Dada, Fluxus, Punk Rock, Hacking, Circuit Bending, Anarchy, and Noise.
EC values inclusion, democracy, experimentation, independence and freedom of thought and expression, open-minded exchange, and Community.

From this moment forward the Electronic Cottage website will primarily be an online magazine for the publication of lengthy and in-depth articles, essays, and interviews.
For those of you who use Facebook I have created an Electronic Cottage Group, which will be a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
The EC website will continue as before, and I encourage those of you who do not use Facebook to use the FORUM page here at the EC website to post miscellaneous thoughts and personal updates.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
