Circuit Bending With Reed Ghazala

We head to the Queen City -- Cincinnati, Ohio -- to talk to the man largely considered the Father of Circuit Bending: Qubais Reed Ghazala. The thoughtful Ghazala strolls down memory lane for some of his early endeavors into the world of circuit bending while also letting us in on a few tidbits of information about himself. For starters, he makes a mean soup -- however, Sean Connery warned us not to ask soup questions in the 2000 classic Finding Forrester.

This guy is totally awesome. He's smart, down to earth, and he seems like an overall nice person.

I would love to smoke a bowl and bend some circuits with him. He seems like such a chill guy

[JSprayaEntertainment]

[ultramouse]

funny the reaction of Texas Instruments he mentions, kinda the opposite of Sony with that kid who modded the Playstation, huh...

@Davek1013 i don't think anything could impress you, you are too cool. ;) I wish I could come watch you play guitar solos in your basement.

@Davek1013 Well it doesn't look like you have produced much of anything. To much time playing your video games. You know nothing of the art of circuit bending.

@Davek1013 Things aren't generally easy or hard to do, what is easy or hard to do is to match the level considered by most people to be average. For washing your hands this is easy, for programming complex software this is less so. Still you can take almost anything to almost any level. I mean what if I started circuit bending the Mir space station to manipulate the sun's radiation into different tones? That would be an extreme and difficult form of circuit bending. See what I mean?

@Davek1013 No. These kinds of things aren't done to impress you my friend. Lighten the fuck up and show us all your work, so we too can be rather unimpressed. You sound highly irritating and pompous.
