Insanity is something we value when applied to musical instrument engineering. Confined within that realm, it's a fun, entertaining feature, particularly so when matched with infinite curiosity. Swedish circuit bender Simon the Magpie fits the "crazy scientist" profile fairly and squarely: his flair and accent are somewhat reminiscent of Dr. Strangelove, and many of his creations…Click on the title for more
