About the event:

The Boston Typewriter Orchestra (BTO) is a collective endeavor which engages in rhythmic typewriter manipulation combined with elements of performance, comedy and satire. Think Stomp meets “The Office”.
What is an instrument? Can music be performed on objects of the business world? What is the intersection of industry and art? Where can we find beauty and purpose in the world’s relentless grind and repetition? For over 20 years The Boston Typewriter Orchestra have posed these questions, challenging the very notion of music itself. Liberated from the rules of traditional music, the BTO continues to reinvent itself with every song. Yet through the din, listeners can hear elements of dub, metal, musique concrète, French house, and garage to name but a few genres they routinely explore.
Founded in 2004, The Orchestra got its start appearing at house parties, art galleries, and street festivals. The group has since performed on local, national, and international radio and television and appeared in the documentary California Typewriter. BTO has released several singles and five albums, the most recent of which is a collection of remixes entitled Delegation.
