“Kirk O’Bain”

I recorded this using a Speak & Spell I bent:

“Kirk O’Bain”

I think it might be the first (and maybe the last, also) bent Speak & Spell duet that mentions (or spells out, I mean) both Kurt Cobain and Kurt Gödel ever written (for what it’s worth). It’s almost a throwaway (or maybe it should be a throwaway), but it’s kind of funny and interesting (for a finite number of listens, anyway).

(If you’re interested in learning more about circuit-bending and bent instruments, there’s a recent Wired magazine article on bent-circuit instruments that you can find easily enough with a Google search.)
