Notes

  1. ↑ Mothersbaugh explained about circuit bending in an interview with Deadline Hollywood , saying:
    "If you go on YouTube, you can see these people who pull out all these crazy, electronic Speak and Spells to Elmo dolls and Casio keyboards and combine the sounds. It’s circuit bending. These people even have their own circuit bent instruments. They are the vocabulary of modern music. So I looked at a lot of that gear, and I created this palate of electronic sounds." [3]
  2. ↑ Also for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) and the television series Regular Show [17]
