Gannon is Aj Pyatak with special guests Jim Diotte, Bev Diotte, Bryan Tysinger, Beth Pyatak, Nova Pyatak, John Hogan, Jacci Zell, John Carlucci and Evan Schectman.

The Bent Fest EP is a combination of the backing tracks I used in my performance, plus newly recorded vocals, uke, kazoo, and the programmed circuit bent instruments that played live. The EP is accompanied by a 30 minute movie that played as background visuals during the performance. Parts of this movie are 3D, and use magenta and green anaglyph glasses. Here is a link to the glasses I use, but there are many companies that sell them online.

GANNON INSTRUMENTS

These are instruments that I've built and use when I'm recording. Some of these devices employ circuit bending. For those who don't know what circuit bending is... Circuit Bending is taking pre-existing electronics, dismantling them, then rewiring them to create new sounds/things (just google for circuit bending). I started doing this in February of 09. The journey has been relatively short, but I've worked as hard as I could, and it's taken me from speak and spells to building new circuits from schematics. Below are the pieces I've built.
