The concept was to take used toy instruments purchased from places like thrift stores & Goodwill & take them apart in order to tear open their insides & re-wire. Sometimes it worked better than others, & often it would take hours to get a nice harsh noise working. After one particular toy guitar had been re-invented so that it emitted completely manipulatable feedback-type noises (the manipulation came from dials that were soddered onto the wires themselves), Math spent an evening re-inventing its use. What he did was use the "Talk" feature on Instant Messenger to communicate with "Trippy" Tim Whelden, a friend of ours who at the time was living in Thailand. Instead of using a microphone, though, Math plugged in the circuit-bent toy & let loose white noise over thousands of miles of internet wireless-ness. Here's a recording that they spat out; it is completely live transmissions between Thailand & Fredericksburg, VA recorded over the internet. Tim is shouting & hooting, while Math plays squeals & other noises on the guitar. The echo-effect & reverberation comes from the fact that...well...the fact that the connection spans thousands of miles. http://students.umw.edu/%7Ejminc5md/NSFTM-it_takes_a_world_of_thousands_of_miles_to_not_hold_us_back.mp3 if all of that isn't EDUpunk, then I may be confused about the term! Either way, it's a very interesting concept, I think, the overt & purposeful manipulation of all these different consumer electronics just to make a quick, joyous noise track! On the topic of this EDUpunk craze that’s been festering:
