Circuit Bending
April, 2008

Patrick McCarthy's circuit-bending workshop at the Old Town School of Folk Music offers a step-by-step course on how to rejigger your cheapo Casio — or even your nephew's old Furby — to create an inventive noise instrument. McCarthy doesn't ask for any prerequisite know-how, just your battery-powered gadgets and a sense of curiosity. With indie faves like Holy Fuck and Crystal Castles making bent-circuit waves, now seems like the perfect time to get started. Plus, you'll be able to say, "You play guitar? Rad, I play a mutant Tickle Me Elmo."
