Mother Goose Songbook premiering at Supersonic?
Graeme Rose, on his blog, mentions that the MTO will be unveiling a new toy at the Supersonic Festival this Friday. “It will be special”, he promises. The accompanying photo (above) shows the Mother Goose Songbook (link to Amazon for more info) which I don’t think has appeared on stage before. Here’s a clearer image of that page.

This blog has no connection with Brian Duffy, Warm Circuit or anything like that. It's a homage, a monument of love. We love you Brian.
"Brian Duffy, award winning sound artist and creator of the Modified Toy Orchestra, has been at the forefront of a world wide underground movement called circuit bending which involves rescuing childrens electronic toys from car boot sales, and converting them into new strange and wonderfully sophisticated musical instruments. Taking them apart, he finds new connections hidden within each toys circuits that reveal new sounds, exposing the surplus value of redundant technology. The toys are then reassembled including switches and dials with which to control this surplus value. The results of this process can be shockingly beautiful, funny and extreme and have led to Brian being labeled a genius, a madman, and a national treasure."
