Roth Mobot is the Chicago based Circuit Bent musical duo of Tommy Stephenson and Patrick McCarthy. Roth Mobot's invention of "recursive jazz" controls the random juxtaposition of improvised dark ambient drones, languid melodies, randomly discovered rhythms, percussive accidents, the humorous language of toys, and common discarded electronic devices, in what they refer to as "strategic improvisation."
Roth Mobot has been performing musical duets on their own Circuit Bent devices and homemade electronics at galleries, theaters, festivals, bars, social events, clubs, and on the radio since 2005.
Circuit Bending (also called Hardware Hacking) is the creative recycling of common discarded technology, often children's toys, by opening the device and soldering in new connections within the device's pre-existing circuitry to create unique musical and video instruments.
