about

[[{}]]

A ritual wherein all sound was sourced from a Speak&Spell circuitbent as per Reed Ghazala's Incantor design. Then rewoven with a wide variety of techniques.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A little over a decade ago now, I was lucky enough to go to Bent Fest Minneapolis, with my dad. I met Ghazala, who's credited with starting the whole circuit bending thing, along with a slew of other eccentrics and their work. The sounds fascinated me, and I wondered how they might be applied in "real music." Obviously, everything I heard was Real Music. But still, a desire to hear the Incantor break out into structure and form, beat and voice, lingered. This is my tribute, an imagined choir.
