Mohave Wasteland Vintage Moog Sonic Six Synthesizer

"Occasionally on my many journeys through the Mohave Wasteland and my endless search for old military items, I stumble across something that catches my eye. I don't know anything about synthesizers or keyboards, but when I saw the name Moog, I knew this was worth snatching up. Being somewhat familiar with old amplifiers and guitars, I have assessed that in the right hands, this thing could likely be brought back to life, or, could be a great source of parts for a restoration. The one rear corner appears to have been submerged in the water, which in turn, swelled the wood underneath the shell. When you plug it in, it makes noise, and seems to do different things when you move different knobs. It did have some "crackling" when moving some of the knobs, but I know older guitars can do that with dirt and grime in the switches. This thing was very loud, and I only messed with it for a little while."

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent - Yamaha PSS-30 V2

YouTube Published on Sep 14, 2012 by manufacturedZ3R0

"One to fall asleep to maybe?
Admittedly a bit lazy on this one with the whole video fading between drone and noise all the way through. As always it's just a demo to show a few of the kinds of sounds that you can get out of these things. Although i didn't do the usual pretty melody thing at the start there are other pss-30 vids up here you can check out if that's what you want to hear.

Two circuit bent yamaha pss30's. One running into the external input of the other. Anything can be fed into the input but since i have two of these here at the moment i thought i'd pair them up and see what happened."

2012 Circuit Benders Ball Nashville on Kickstarter

"The Circuit Benders’ Ball is a daylong symposium dedicated to the art of the bend, taking place on Saturday, September, 29th. It will feature two stages, over a dozen performers, an interactive art gallery, and workshops. Workshops 10am-7pm. Music 8pm-1am. Our inspirations are the multi-city Bent Festival, The Fuse Factory in Columbus, OH, the eSymposium in Chicago, Illinois, and, of course, Reed Ghazala, the father of circuit-bending!

We have invited circuit bent artists from Tennessee and beyond to perform and lead electronic workshops. The afternoon workshops are open to all ages and all levels of experience. In the evening, experimental musicians and sound artists will perform with circuit bent instruments, custom-made electronics, and/or battery-powered electronic devices. Genres will range from ambient soundscapes to aleatoric noise to EDM influenced grooves.

So: if you are into (or merely curious about) experimental music, making, electronics, art, DIY, hacking, and sonic mayhem, this event is for you!

The all-day event will take place on Saturday, September 29th, 2012 at Brick Factory Nashville, a hackerspace, community workshop, educational facility, art gallery, and performance space.
