from The Earth Hotel Hosted by Jacquie Cotillard

We're back to close out the month of February with adventures in circuit bending: (the practice of dismantling and corrupting keyboards or electronic instruments). My friend and Montevallo ex-pat Will Mcdonald joins me in the studio to give me a demo of his bent Casio SK-5, and we end up talking about Dada and Word Magick. This episode features a song by defunct Montevallo jazz group AL-QAEDA the GUN and a couple of selections from my more obscure word works. Also, for the first time, a viewer Q & A segment!
