Circuit Bending / Jörg Piringer
As part of "MetaSpace in DiscourseLab" (curated by J. Grenzfurthner) / Paraflows 2007
CIRCUIT BENDING
A workshop with Jörg Piringer.
Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of low voltage, battery-powered electronic audio devices such as guitar effects, children's toys and small synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with "bent" instruments.
