About Me


....
ASMO (Anti Social Musik Order) is the 'circuit bending' project of artist and musician Stu Smith. He works with self made instruments custom built from the modified circuits of electronic toys, keyboards and other discarded gadgets. His work explores the sonic landscape of 'circuit bent' instruments and their integration into existing modular synthesizer systems. He writes and performs with the groups Threep and The Buoys and has performed at concerts and festivals across the UK, Europe and New York.

Since 2000 he has been co-director of Bathysphere , an artist led production company and label specializing in music and video. He is an accomplished video artist and graphic designer and has produced work for large scale performance installations at Lincoln Cathedral and Ashby Castle funded by Arts Council England and English Heritage.
