Ransom Duets Recording Session 8 PM - 11 PM

Midwest circuit benders and DIY artists will be unloading piles and piles of thrift store treasures like keyboards, Speak and Spells, and oddity kids toys. The sellers will also be demonstrating and selling LoFi Synth prototypes, kits, handmade contact microphones, and completed circuit bent works of art. Bring wads of cash to snag some awesome deals, otherwise this is a great chance to experience circuit bent devices in person and make new friends.

Reed promises to have for sale some of the best vintage electronic parts available anywhere, like shuttered or polarized pilot lenses, short-throw all-metal reset switches, plus glass deer eyes, classic knobs, signed CDs, historic ephemera and way more. He will also be signing hand-annotated copies of his Circuit Bending: Build Your Own Alien Instruments book. Hope to see you there!
