The First Premiere Circuit Bending Orchestra
based on the work of
Inventor & Composer Reed Ghazala
Reed's work in music and instrument design is recognized worldwide.
As the inventor of "circuit-bending"
(the chance application of the creative short circuit)
Ghazala continues to teach his techniques via website and printed texts
(see Ghazala's new book, CIRCUIT-BENDING,
Designing Your Own Alien Instruments, Wiley Press).
Ghazala's work is continually covered in the planet's major periodicals, including
The New York Times, Washington Post, WIRED,
The Smithsonian, and The Wall Street Journal.
Ghazala is one of the planet's most influential cyber-professors,
and has spawned a revolution in music and circuit design.

Daniel
Park
Daniel Park comes from a jazz and contemporary folk
background. He was one of Reeds
irst students and within 8 months Daniel has made over 70 circuit bent
instruments. He designs, builds and sells wonderful CB devices to musicians and
non-musicians alike. We consider Danieal as one of the finest examples of the
empowerment and accessibilty in the experimental art form of circuit
bending.

Matt Pass first met Reed at the Arbutus Hall Event curated by Sloan, Indiana University 1981. (It was probably one of the first major events to introduce circuit bending to an un-suspecting audience.) Matt is a vocal sounder sculpting auralisms with voice, delate, distort, and homemade instruments. His work with circuit bent instruments is vehicular for riding chaos sound patterns, shaping randomness into semi-coherence. Matt also designs an plays instruments such as pvc and mouthpiece-less trumpet devices.

Marc Sloan has known Reed since '72.
He is honoured to conduct The Circuit Bending Orchestra.
Sloan's musical work ranges from solo bass to an extensive resume
performing original Electro Acoustic Composition
utilizing the tools available to the modern composer.
"A gardener of electronic flowers that enhance
the audio and visual soundscapes."
"Sometimes not so subtle barometric changes in the climate
effecting the viscosity of air."
"An electronic aurora borealis."
Marc Sloan has recorded and toured internationally for over 20 years.
