    "A while back I found a Casio keyboard on the sidewalk. I took it home and pulled it apart. After discarding the keys and exposing the IC and circuit boards, I began to soldier connections between the IC and various copper nodes on the Keyboard. In some places, I installed switches and pots between the wires. Some of the wires I allowed to float above the board so that I could use alligator clips, or my fingers, to make temporary connections. This tape documents the sounds the new instrument produced. The album cover is a photo of the instrument as it looked during the recording process" - JJR 2023
