Reed Ghazala ist das Urgestein der Circuit Bending Szene. Er schraubt seit den 60ern an allen möglichen Geräten, um die sounderzeugerischen Fähigkeiten der selbigen zu manipulieren. Motherboard hat ihn besucht und er gewährt Einblicke in seine Werkstatt und in seine Denke.
3 KommentareIn this episode of Sound Builders, we travel to Cincinnati, Ohio, to meet with Reed Ghazala, the founder and father of circuit bending. Reed takes us into his workshop where we get a glimpse into his world of circuit bending, exploring the history and evolution of this art. Reed bends our minds by walking us through the struggles and triumphs he endured while establishing the art of circuit bending.
“The wires fall upon the circuit like the paint on Pollack’s canvas,” he says, rhapsodically.
We tinker with several of Reed’s machines, manipulating sound and opening our minds to this fascinating art form. He works on a project for Motherboard while explaining the method to this music madness, his process, his teachings, as well as the different inventions he has created over the years.
