In June of this year, I took a trip to Chicago, Illinois to attend the 4^th 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!
