ISN'TSES - AUDIO VISUAL, HARSH FUN PERFORMERS
Isn’tses are harsh fun duo Lisa McKendrick and Tim Drage. Using a vast array of hardware, their DAWless setup is made up of their own self-designed synths and modules together with Game Boys, Octatrack and 8-bit modified visuals. They create a semi-improvised set of electronic beats and light saber mayhem and generate a live sonic eruption of musical genres, encompassing dance music, aggressive vocals, techno rave, psytrance, noise, metal, and industrial influences.
They are the creators of noise synths Chernobylizer, Chernobyletta, Fort Processor and most recently Dark Harvestator.

"London-based duo of Lisa McKendrick and Tim Drage, have a wicked sense of humour and a unique visual aesthetic, dressing in bespoke sequinned costumes which make them look like displaced grapplers from an obscure Japanese indy wrestling division. Mere eye candy they ain’t, mind: Punctum, their third self-released cassette, is an epic 90 minutes of obscurely crafted analogue machine gurgle – “an album of mysterious origin”, the sole description on the Bandcamp page, may not specifically refer to its methodology but certainly could." - Noel Gardner, The Quietus
“you can’t replicate that signature sound you have....so dense and full of detail and movement....a different use of space...really tight and immediate and close” - Bermuda Triangle Test Transmissions, Resonance FM
