This site is dedicated to the works of folktek artists. We seek to provide you with high quality instruments - electronic and electro accoustic, often of a bizarre nature. We build many of our own switches and buttons as well as sequencers and make them as precise and high quality as possible.
We spend hours and hours designing and redesigning circuits and work to remix the past and place it properly in the future. Into the hands of musicians, preformance artists and collectors.
Aside from being instrument designers we're mask makers, book makers, performance artists, visual artists, musicians, DJ's, graffiti artists, installation artists, wood workers, and the list goes on.
Folktek is a venture to create the highest quality work in all instances and provide inspiration to the people. This site will grow, folktek will grow, what we have to offer will grow.
We are many each with something or things to offer. We will provide a place to buy these works, a place to download the finest mixes and musical works by folktek artists, and schematics of circuit bendables.
For now, you will see portfolios of the works of Arius Blaze, the works of Ben Houston, and collaborational projects - look to your left to find the links to those pages.
We hope you find this work of great interest. Please understand that this site is only in it's beginning stages and very simple at the moment...We are seeking a web designer to make it nice as you read this.
