Here is a video showing some more sound from Korg's excellent new Monotribe. This is basically an analog electribe in the same vein as their Monotron. It sounds really nice and is real analog as opposed to an emulation. The filters sound really nice.

The other day I dug out an old record for a listen. This was Morton Subotnicks, Silver Apples of the Moon. This record came out in 1967 and if you ask me, it still sounds very modern and fresh. I think Warp Records could quite easily release something like this today.

The Art of Circuit Bending

Posted on 5/6/2011 6:37:28 AM by admin

Circuit bending as a sonic art form has been around for quite a few years now and was pioneered by a guy called Reed Ghazala (http://www.anti-theory.com). Circuit bending involves getting old children toys and electronic devices that make sound and rewiring the insides so they make noises that were not intended by the original manufacturers.

This article will show you how to get into circuit bending and discuss what tools you need and interesting techniques you can use on the sounds afterwards.

I was introduced to circuit bending a few years ago by a friend and I was instantly amazed by the possibilities. At the time I did not think it was something that I would be able to do as I had no electronics experience at all. But this really does not matter.
