The term "bending" does a disservice to the Folktek guys. Circuit bending is when someone attempts to modify an existing device, usually without any (or with very little) technical knowledge of it.
These guys, on the other hand, design unique instruments from scratch. I'm not saying they don't do bending, maybe they do, but their work usually goes way beyond circuit bending.
Despite the criticism Arius Blaze/Folktec has received, there is no doubt that he's stuff is absolutely fascinating - a world apart from the good deal of insanely-overpriced circuit bent crap we find at ebay or we hear around the web. This guy is a genius!
Totally agree - I've also read many negative comments about him and his machines - but when it comes to circuit bending, no one can match this guy - a couple of years down the road, his creations will cost a small fortune to own - very impressive.
OMFG I WILL IT!

"Bending," you say? Sigh...
