When I first heard about this group project the idea that immediately shot into my brain was to take the spirit of old time radio and the hand done sound effects of old time radio show dramas and serials and bring it all up to date using some contemporary sound making devices such as electronics and circuit bent keyboards. All of the music, vocals, rhythms and sound effects within this track were specifically recorded for this project and this project alone. For this challenge I used my Casio SA 21 and my circuit bent Realistic Concertmate 350 plus other assorted electronic toys and gadgets, as well incorporating hand made sounds like a creaking chair, breaking glass etc. The vocal parts, except for the scream were all initially recorded with a vintage Fisher Price tape recorder and then transferred into the WAV format later in the process. Bobby Needles is a puppet character that I developed back in 2014 for the Strattanpossum Doomed Puppet Army puppet show and has appeared numerous times in my paintings, drawings, photos and film projects.
