Found a Drummer

Found a drummer. It's my photography friend Andy Joseph. He takes better pictures than me. I may try to put together a trio with him and ??? Rock and Roll and fun musical times. Also working on a new bent keyboard, and working and working and recording when I can.

Animal Keyboard Frenzy

Even the boss man, clean rocker that he is, is after one of my Madnoodled Keyboards. The Animal keyboard is selling and is ever popular. It does have it's attractions. 3 sold this week. 2 in NYC and one in Switzerland. Rock and roll! Totally able to handle your animal keyboard needs


I'd like to be doing more vactrol circuits because they often throw these keyboards into another realm? Who knew that was so much going on inside of these chips? It seems that the right pulses of light and a photo sensitive resistors can trigger things in keyboards that the manufacturing people didn't intend. One time I had a red keyboard. My 555 timer chip made it play all sorts of melodies like ole Susannah? So I look at chips like a safe that I could crack or there's more to everything than meets the eye. 555 timer in astable mode makes cool sounds on it's own but you can make them trick out a keyboard as well. Old circuit tester is now a 556 beast. Fun stuff!

He likes to play.

Back in the city and back at the bench.

Farewell 2011. You weren't the best or worst year. 2012 starts with lots of outside work. But I am putting an Amazing Band Animal Keyboard up for sale each week. I have also been writing music. I record my songs and am hoping to put out some digital publications or maybe get one in a film or two. It may be a challenge finding a place for my music because I am somewhat committed to making music that is fun and or funny to listen to. I think life is too short for songs that don't entertain. People say there's a lot of crap music going on but there is always crap. From time to time we all take a musical dump, but if you bouce it off a friend and they support it you may have just dusted off a new sub genre. I am working on three songs that I started on acoustic guitar in the blue ridge mountains. I didn't foul them up with lyrics yet. As soon as I could I put fender bass guitar on 2 of them. Then the drums were laid down at my friend Jeff's house. I also did some Rhodes piano on the 54. I have done tons of music over the years and have the latest gizmos that emulate things ect, but there is nothing like live instruments. It feels like you are making music instead of being made to make music with pre-fabricated units. Me personally I am shying away from anything but the real thing.

Last Call For Animals!

Sometimes I feel like this guy but with no guitar synth? Just putting out the word that the animal keyboard auctions ending in 2 days are the last ones that will make it before Christmas. Any Amazing Band Animal Keyboards past this auction I cannot safely say will arrive before the big day. I'm trying to work with people and make sure they get their products in a timely manner. With lots to juggle and a hurdle or two I will strive to find more Animal Keyboards and continue bending them after Christmas, but my prediction is that I'll get too busy at work to really crank out an army of toy synths. Maybe one day, and I'll get a Roland GR-500.

Animal Keyboard Craziness

Here's the keyboard that has made number 1 seller at Noodle Corp. I personally have been studying this keyboard for about 3 years now. There is an older IC version. I bend the new ones with tiny surface mount components. It's tricky but I know the ins and outs. Seems that most of my sales have been in USA lately but this keyboard is popular world wide. Versions of it, bent by other benders, have been used by the Flaming Lips at the Royal Albert Hall. I have sold many through out Europe and North America. I take pride in each piece and make sure that the electronic modifications are done professionally.
