Paperclip minimiser Concert & Tour History (Updated for 2026)

Paperclip minimiser Concert History

Paperclip Minimiser is an electronic music project by Manchester-based producer, software designer, and Cong Burn label boss John Howes. The name playfully inverts the famous "paperclip maximizer" AI thought experiment. Instead of an artificial intelligence destroying the world to maximize paperclip production, Howes uses system-based, semi-autonomous programming to build intricate sonic worlds.
