Circuit-bending
is an electronic art which implements creative audio short-circuiting.
This renegade path of electrons represents a catalytic force capable of
exploding new experimental musical forms forward at a velocity previously
unknown. Anyone at all can do it; no prior knowledge of electronics is
needed. The technique is, without a doubt, the easiest electronic audio
design process in existence. -Reed Ghazala
This workshop introduces basic electronic concepts through circuit-bending and focuses on body contact with circuits. Participants will probe their way through audio circuits like professional unprofessional and learn how to stick audio jacks onto things that should not have them. The workshop is followed by an experimental jam open to the public.
**no previous experience with electronics or instruments necessary**
Participants should come equipped with non-cherished battery-powered electronic audio devices such as music and sound toys for kids.
