Electronicos Fantasticos! (Japanese: エレクトロニコス・ファンタスティコス!, Hepburn: Erekutoronikosu Fantasutikosu!) is a Japanese music project led by Ei Wada and known for their use of recycled electronics, such as electric fans, CRT televisions and barcode readers, as electronic instruments. One of Wada's projects involving unconventional innstruments, the project was formed in 2015 alongside the Nocos Orchestra-Lab to help with people interested in producing music using electronic items.
History[edit]
In March 2018, the project received the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's New Artist Award in the Media Arts category of the Arts Encouragement Prize. Additionally, at that year's Ars Electronica, they were awarded an honorary mention in the Interactive Arts category and the Starts Prize, which recognizes works that combine science, technology, and art.[1]
