\
\
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.

\
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.\

\
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.
