Circuit Bending: Making Music By ReWiring Devices and Toys

Course details

This is a class about the joy of Circuit Bending.

In this class we will first talk about what Circuit Bending is, and how it works. Then, we will actually circuit bend an old keyboard from beginning to end, going step-by-step through the entire process. In the end, we will have a cool new keyboard capable of brand new sounds, and I'll even make a track with it.

This might just be the weirdest class I've ever made. In this class we will hit the road, going to some thrift shops to look for bendable instruments, I'll do some time-lapse videos of taking things apart (complete with Benny Hill), and we will melt down some Spongebob Squarepants. You will have to join the class to see how that all unfolds.

And of course, once you sign up for this class, you automatically get huge discounts on many of my other classes - stay to the end to find out how!

You will not have another opportunity to learn Circuit Bending in a more comprehensive way that this. Start here.
