Circuit Bending for Sound's Sake

By Jen Nathan on Monday, November 23, 2009.

Musicians, hackers, coders and geeks from around the world converged on Boston this weekend for the first ever Music Hack Day in the U.S. There was plenty of wire, soldering irons, and electronic sounds. Word of Mouth’s Jen Nathan picked up a microphone to uncover the appeal of pulling toys apart to make music.

hi! I was wondering if there was audio for this story, or only the photoessay?

Hi Noah,

The audio is on its way up to the site - we usually have each day's audio up by 3 pm. Hope that helps!
