Core77

So, we got word that a good fraction of Ranjit Bhatnagar's Electric Junk Guitar Workshop last week was made up of Core readers (like, one third of the class!), and that just makes us grin. But not half as much as this one-and-a-half minute video of several anonymous students rocking their one- and two-stringed creations live for the camera at workshop's end. Superfluous and cacophonous, yes, but also inspiring and adorable.

Bhatnagar, incidentally, informs us that he will be doing a full term class at Parsons this fall, and is looking for a venue for the end of term show. Anyone in NYC who knows of a likely space and was charmed by the above showcase should contact him through his website, moonmilk.com, or just check it out anyway for a look at some pretty absurd sonic and kinetic sculpture. Homemade guitars, it turns out, are just the beginning.
