What is circuit bending and what might the workshop cover?
Briefly, circuit bending is the manipulation of existing electronic devices for artistic purposes. Specifically, we crack open things like doorbells, old Casio keyboards and electronic toys, mess about with their circuits and make very unique musical instruments out of them. A typical circuit bending workshops starts with an brief explanation of the tools and equipment you need. There will also be a safety demonstration to use a soldering iron which we ask everyone to participate in, experienced or not. Then using all that information [usually takes about 15 minutes] the good stuff starts and we just get cracking with the electronic toys and making something new out of it!
