Modified Toy Orchestra
Brian Duffy has been a stalwart of the circuit-bending scene for a number of years now. He set the bar pretty high for the MTO, his remit was only to use discarded kid's keyboards and talking toys to modify and circuit bend them beyond their original capabilities. Making perfect pop songs from imperfect instruments.

This year sees a new incarnation of the orchestra, and consists of Lawrence (Pram),  Darren Joyce (DOTB) Mike Johnston (Plone, Mike in Mono)  Joe Leach and Chris Plant.
