In June of this year, I took a trip to Chicago, Illinois to attend the 4th annual Experimental Garage Sale, a gathering of circuit-benders, instrument makers, and musical innovators. I recorded interviews with ROTH MOBOT, TIM KAISER, ALEX DEEBA, CMKT4, THEJUNKYARD CATALYST from THRIFTSORE BORATORIUM, LOW-GAIN, and a number of other makers. What follows is my correspondence from the field. Special thanks to the makers, the Experimental Sound Studio (who hosted), and Katherine Guza for taking the incredible pictures you see below.

If you are enticed by any of the inventions mentioned in the podcast, support the designers by buying from their sites below. Christmas is just around the corner, and nothing says love like a custom-made piece of musical goodness!

Michael Hancock from Hearts Of Palm

Theatre Intangible takes a field trip to Cincinnati, Ohio for the inaugural FauxBeAn’t Art Fair: a circuit-bent, ant-themed, music & video festival starring THRIFTSORE BORATORIUM, CMKT4, HEARTS OF PALM, PELZWICK & DINGER, TALKING COMPUTRON, HARDON COLLIDER, MICHAEL UNA, and the father of circuit-bending REED GHAZALA! We play clips from the performances and interview GetLoFi‘s Alex Deeba, UNATRONICS founder Michael Una, Michael Hancock of HEARTS OF PALM, and Nebula Girl, 1/2 Mang, and TheJunkardCatalyst from THRIFTSORE BORATORIUM.

 

Nearly everyone we interviewed will be at the 4th annual EXPERIMENTAL GARAGE SALE in Chicago, Illinois on June 4th. Some of the most creative instrument-makers are bringing some of their wildest customized gear to sell directly to you. EGS features performances by the sellers, hands-on demos, and the coolest garage sale this side of Narnia. I grew so excited after talking with builders Alex Deeba, Michael Una, and Thriftsore Boratorium that I decided to splurge on a plane ticket and attend! And don’t worry. I’ll bring my trusty field recorder for a future T.I. episode.

The full sets in high-quality MP3: (Right-click and “save as” or follow to stream.)

E029 CMKT4 Artist Showcase 08/05/2010

CMKT4 in the Theatre Intangible Studios

You may remember CMKT4 — circuit-bent rock ‘n roll trio, GetLoFi writers, makers of the bottlecap contact mic, and members of the greater Chicago circuit-bending collective — from podcast 23, Artificial. While in Nashville, they were kind enough to come on T.I. again for an artist showcase. On episode 29, hear CMKT4 play their brand of off-kilter rock ‘n roll while discussing their 2010 tour, circuit-bending, and Abby the Spoon Lady. They even give us a live demonstration of the bottlecap contact mic. Although they use home-made and circuit-bending instruments, CMKT4 is really a rock ‘n roll and thus falls a bit outside the scope of T.I. Still, the deviation is quite worth it. Hope you enjoy!

I apologize for the clipped-vocals in some sections — with three vocalists, drums, bass, guitar, and a multitude of toys, we had to bring in a second mixer that I was unfamiliar with. To keep the duration under 45 minutes, I had to cut 2 songs; but you can download the concert in it’s entirety by following this link.

E023 Artificial

Dekalb, Illinois experimental rock band CMKT4 stopped by Theatre Intangible for an improv and artist showcase while on tour.  You may know drummer Austin Cliffe as Creme Dementia on the circuit-bending blog GetLoFi.  We’ll release the artist showcase in the near future, but for podcast episode 23, we present to you the improv: Artificial.

Artificial stars CMKT4 (Austin Cliffe, Zach Adams, and Jeff Cox) and regulars Laurence Crow and Craig Schenker.  CMKT4 played a variety of circuit-bent toys, a guitar synth, and hand-made bottlecap contact mics (which they make and sell.)  Craig played saxophone and Larry played laptop synths and sampled Craig’s sax.  I did the live mixing, editing, and mastering.

This is a pretty insane improv, and it may turn out to be one of my favorites.  Enjoy.
