Tinlicker is a Dutch electronic music act formed in 2013 in Utrecht by Micha Heyboer (Drums, Keys) and Jordi van Achthoven (Drums, Keys). The name ‘Tinlicker’ comes from circuit bending, which is the creative, chance-based customization of the circuits within electronic devices to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators. While you have your hands full with musical instruments you have to ‘lick the tin’ in order to make things work.
