Reform Pistol 2004-2005

I modified toy pistols with pressure sensors. When the trigger is pulled, the sensor transmits a signal.
My band Pistil Reform used two Reform Pistols during our set. Different songs had different pistol samples.
In the song "Shady Motherfucker" one pistol utilized by the bassist triggered a voice sample by
George Bush ("by our actions we have shown what kind of nation we are"), the other pistol utilized
by the guitarist a voice sample by Arnold Schwarzenegger ("you son of a bitch").
