"Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.8 Telstar-The Clavioline

Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards,samplers or midi pickups were used.

In today's episode studio musician Bill Ruppert recreates the classic hit Telstar using just a guitar and Electro-Harmonix effect pedals.

Telstar was one of the fist pop hits to feature a synthesizer.
The Clavioline was a very early synthesizer using vacuum tubes.
Bill Ruppert also demonstrates some very unusual effects through the video as well.

EHX Pedals featured:Soul Preacher, Stereo Memory Man, Big Muff, Pulsar, Poly Phase, MicroSynth, Cathedral, Poly Chorus"

Circuit Bending Improv - Kids Drum

YouTube via kerikino
"Found this "kids drum" at goodwill/salvation army.

I've had difficulty making practical use of circuit bent toys, because of their unpredictability. However, in this case I feel like the Kids drum is somewhat practical. I realize that a lot of cthe circuit bent charm is the in the uncertainty of what sounds will come out, etc... But i wanted to go beyond circuit bending for circuit bendings sake and tried to harness both the alien nature of the bent toy and then the more human side. My description probably makes little sense. You be the judge I guess."
