How to Do Circuit Bending on Audio Electronics
Learn about circuit bending in this video series that will help you understand how and when to utilize this unique way of making music.
Series Summary
Circuit bending is one of the most creative ways to make random weird noises. It involves soldering and wiring contact points on the circuit boards of common sound-producing electronic items like children's toys or synthesizers to alter the sounds such items make. The wiring is attached to switches that can then be used to control the "bent" circuit and create strange, unique, and interesting sounds. Circuit bending is commonly associated with noise music, but such improvised musical instruments have been experimented with by a variety of musicians.In this free video series, our expert Lorin Parker will show you everything you need to know about circuit bending. He will teach you what circuit bending is, the history of it, and all about bent fest. Lorin will also offer some valuable safety tips for circuit bending, teach you about the tools you'll need, and how to open electronic devices for circuit bending uses. He will also show you how to probe the circuit board, how to solder, all about potentiometers, body contacts, and light sensors, and how to repackage the circuit bent item. He will even talk about circuit bending output before releasing you out into the world to bend your own circuits, fins your own tones, and make your own music.
