great documentary and great character – some of his ideas/approaches reminded me of Don Buchla.
I saw it ages ago and I remember it was even on utube but unfortunately no more.

I happened upon this doc last week. A wonderful portrayal of the band and their fans.

I finally bought Elektro Moskva and absolutely loved it so I went back for the extras. I knew that some of the Formanta etc synths were temperamental but I (perhaps quite stupidly) never really considered that it was because parts were at such a premium that many instruments were literally constructed from components foraged from scrap. Amazing!

Lightning Bolt: The Power of Salad & Milkshakes

(they are “electronic” enough for this thread in my books, even tho they are kind of not obviously)

The first time I saw Lightning Bolt in Providence I was 15 and had no idea what a DIY venue was never mind that I was going to one when I asked my dad to drop me off. I just knew that I liked loud noise music and Brian Chippendale’s art. I think the venue was called The Living Room but I’ve had a hard time finding a search term that doesn’t bring me to DIY furniture so idk really. Their set at around midnight (and the hours of unexpected openers) really made an impression. I’ve seen them a handful of times since but I miss when they played on the floor in the crowd.
