About Sounds Happy

I learned the art of Circuit Bending from The Rubber Monkey Puppet Company and became a member of The Guild Of Acquired Technology shortly after. The Guild has disbanded since, but the artists continue on. I am Sounds Happy. I take toys and rewire them into allophonic noise instruments.

Lecturing with Patrick McCarthy for the ACM at DePaul 6.14.06

Rubber Monkey Love was an amazing success, and all artists, musicians, and attendants involved helped to raise over $1900 to help Patrick McCarthy. Thanks!

Amazing show with Zombie Mike, TK Raptor, and He Not In, hosted and organized by Cesario Moza! Stay tuned for new tracks from the show!

Shmanbot	May 8 2008 4:50 PM Hello Sounds Happy. I am Shmanbot, the androgynous cybernetic organism from the Planet Xyzzyx. Thanks for the add! Your set at Bent was fantabulous, as was the workshop. (The human who does all the work for me was in attendance - he was the dude with the Bubba on Board). Please enjoy Shmanbot's silly music and videos. I wish you the best, creator of crushing toy noises. Shmanbot out.
Beatrix Jar	May 6 2008 3:39 PM Beautiful work at Bent my friend! We loved your set and your workshop technique! Excited to cross your path again!
