Hardware Hour is an hour long sonic experiment to further research development for Sonic Liberation Devices (S.L.Ds)

Hosted by SLDs founded, Lita, this segment is dedicated to exploring the world of Serenity Synth created by Evilo.

Evilo (Olive) (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist, DJ, and instrument builder whose practice moves between club sound systems, experimental electronics, and tactile performance. With an extensive background in DJing across dance, ambient, and left-field electronic music, Evilo’s sets are guided by a sensitivity to rhythm, texture, and long-form flow—blurring the line between DJ set and live performance.

Alongside their DJ practice, Evilo designs and performs with custom-built electronic instruments, including Serenity Synth, a sculptural ensemble of synthesizers, MIDI controllers, and preamps. These instruments emphasize hands-on interaction, improvisation, and deep listening, inviting playful and embodied relationships with sound-making technology.

Across radio, performance, and installation contexts, Evilo explores how humans relate to machines, materials, and invisible systems—using sound as a site for experimentation, ritual, and collective presence.
