San Francisco's OmniCircus Junkyard Cabaret and Robot Ensemble is an experimental, surreal neo-crassical science-friction heavy-mental world-confusion musical-cabaret group, led since its founding in 1988 by composer-artist Frank Garvey. Our shows integrate 'live' avant-fusion music and performance with life-sized computer-controlled robotics and midi-controlled virtual-reality puppets. In 1988 Garvey commenced building a series of life-sized robotic blame-throwers, starting with Goboy, the mechanical panhandler. Thus erupted the Robotic Ensemble of the OmniCircus, a surreal mechanical red-light district, a troupe of robotic beggars, hookers, junkies and street-preachers who appear in OmniCircus shows and engage in mysterious cyborg guerilla theater on the city streets. Our musical component is the DeusMachina band, which has a catalog of recordings on the Gate 6 label and the American Composer's Forum innova label.
