Electronic duo Bodytronix return to Austin from a date at NYC's Bent Festival with huge tracts of bare circuit boards and enough handmade, unidentifyable bling-bling analog gizmos to rock the house.   Bodytronix recently unveiled a third member of the group, a handmade singing computer-vocal machine with eerie 1981 chiptune technology.

Eric Archer is an electronic instrument designer, musician, and DIY workshop instructor with Handmade Music Austin.  Erich Ragsdale is an electronic musician, DJ, photographer, and an original member of Austin outsider outfits Oblong Boys, Pataphysics, and Low Red Center.
