does anyone rate this album? ive given it a few listens and
i quite like it. interesting to make an entire album out of
circuit bent toys and although some of it is a bit shit he
does get some nice sketchy sounds clip and guff here.

haha, i was gonna say the sample doesnt work, but realised
my speaker wasnt turned on.
sounds good, but a whole album may be a bit much?
(could also be the greatest thing ever but i havent heard it
have i)

hehe, I'd rather have my circuit bent kit sampled then
sequenced instead of fully live.

think the LP is sampled. only the live shows are 'live'.
know what you mean though. any time i circuit bend anything
i just record the noise i can get out of it then stick it in
to songs rather then trying to tweak stuff over a track that
70% of the time you cant predict.

What is Circuit-Bending? I would investigate on Wikipedia,
but it isn't loading up for me.

circuit bending is taking a premade circuit (such as the
insides of a toy steering wheel or a yamaha QY10) and
modifying them with resistors or by grounding them etc. to
produce noises that that machine would not normally make. a
lot of fun if you have even a glancing interest in
electronics and can sometimes produce awesome results. check
here for examples and links.

I'd really like to learn how to circuit bend. My little
cousin has a couple toys that already sound quite awesome.
Theres this toy guitar that has about 40 notes on it. Sounds
more like a piano. It's a very thin toy for that many
sounds, soldering and such would probably be near
impossible.

Yeah, but I'm more into recording what it throws out, then
finding what sounds like a hi-hat, or a kick, or even a
snare. Then I take these into a sampler....
