Circuit Benders Ball Nashville s biennial summit for noiseniks, synth obsessives and gear-builders and tinkerers of all stripes took its act online over the weekend. CBB is the brainchild of Tony Youngblood, who founded it in 2010 and curated the first three editions before handing the reins to current organizer (and master of ceremonies)
Tyler Blankenship in 2017. But CBB s overarching aim to break down formalist, academic notions about what is and isn t avant-garde music has stayed consistent through the years, lending a hand in fostering a fertile, eclectic and exponentially growing crop of outside-the-box music-makers across the South.
