| Electronic maestros craft new subculture
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - In the corner of Noah Fleischman's Kansas City basement sits a table with electronic toys, keyboards and guitar pedals, all gutted and rewired, circuitry spilling from the casings. But he's no gadget repairman. He's a musician. Fleischman manipulates the machines - toys, instruments, talking dolls even - to make strange, dissonant sounds. He is one of many experimental artists immersed in a blossoming, do-it-yourself subculture known as circuit bending. "I like the random chaos. No two devices are the same," Fleischman said. On Web sites like eBay, circuit-bent mutant machines are hot commodities. And festivals and workshops have sprouted worldwide. Many have turned to circuit-bending creator Reed Ghazala's anti-theory.com Web site for guidance.
