Chop Shop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chop Shop a.k.a. Scott Konzelmann, is a noise musician who has released recordings on Pure, RRRecords, Banned Prodution, V2_Archief and Generator Sound Art.
Chop Shop creates sound using salvaged materials and speakers to create drones and other sounds specific to the speaker created.[1] Often the speaker features prominently in the packaging as a photo or daguerreotype. Chop Shop is known also for innovative packaging using leather, tar paper, steel plates, etc.
Konzelmann is also part of Generator Sound Art, Inc. in New York City[2]. In 2005 Chop Shop was part of the Activating the Medium Festival[3].
