Aj Gannon‘s Toy Volcano is finally finished and ready for download. You may remember his awesome Speak and Spell Guitar constructed along with other circuit bent and DIY instruments specifically to be incorporated into this wonderful project.
The songs on this Album are fresh and groovy with lots of Ukulele and non-offending goofy vocals. Great Holiday listen!
OFFICIAL TEXT:
Toy Volcano is Gannon’s fifth official release. This album is a combination of ukulele, kazoo, handmade electronic instruments (pictured below), and various sampling and recording applications. The instruments have demo videos which can be found “here“.
Upon the official release of the album in December there will be a final demo video of the actual Toy Volcano which you can see pictured below in the center of the collage, plus an additional track produced for The Beatles Complete on Ukulele project found “here“.

Thanks! I will be listening to this later tonight.
Thank you for this. It’s interesting to hear other incarnations of circuit bent toys.
Thanks , will listen to it later tonight!!! Can’t wait.
I’m glad while stumbling around looking for electronics sites for inspiration a while back, decided to take a look again tonight and downloaded the album for the hell of it, expecting to hear another weird sound generator being inserted into a swan with a cat as a condom…and I found this – brilliance. I had no idea anyone was making music this good on the circuit bending scene. It’s light, agile, intelligent, and made me smile. Thanks so much, it’s a great album and a great sound. Anyone reading this – play it the moment it’s down.
Check out this circuit bending project. It’s a circuit bent keyboard mounted inside a rubber rain boot!
