The “new toy” for Supersonic promised by Graeme wasn’t the Mother Goose Songbook which, as any fool knows, powers the lyrics to Up Above The Sky So High. It was a Barbie Island Princess Sing N Style, or at least the bare skull of one. With red eyes.
It’s possibly the scariest thing I’ve seen on stage.

About me
A fan-blog for Brian Duffy, his Modified Toy Orchestra, and related endeavours.

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."
