Circuit Bending

September 12th, 2008

Wednesday, Mr. Pungsnotded had a circuit bending workshop. Never one to do things by the book, Mr. Pungsnotded decided to let the worms do all the work.

Worms need to express themselves, too!

 

Taking apart children’s toys, isn’t as easy as it looks, and there are lots of tiny screws to remove.

But the result is worth it. You should try. You don’t have to use worms, you can use a finger.

I do not claim to actually know what a circuit is, or what actually happens when you bend one. I do know what noise is, I like to make lots of it!

-or- there was free Jimmy John’s at the workshop, and I enjoy free food and noise.

    Hey great website. I got here from a link sent to me by Marty, he is my neighbor. I loved the book also, big laughs.

    I have to ask. Why is the Mr. Taking apart toys?

    He was taking the apart to teach college kids, circuit bending. You take the toy apart and stick your finger on the circuit, which short circuits the sound and distorts it, and makes a noise somewhat less annoying sound than the original toy sound.
