Circuit Bending is the creative and innovative modification, based on short-circuiting, of low voltage electronic devices (toys, pedals, etc.), with the purpose of creating new electronic instruments and sound generators.
The aim of this workshop is to provide each participant with the necessary electronic knowledge (theoretical and practical) to practice Circuit Bending. We will focus on tone modification and circuit speed. The first three hours will be devoted to theoretical aspects, so the participant acquires the necessary knowledge. After that we will open a toy or device, to expose the circuit and start working on the tone modification and speed of the system. The participant will understand and get used to circuits, demystifing electronics and will feel comfortable intervening.
Each participant must bring the toy or electronic device he wishes to modify following Circuit Bending techniques. These must work on low voltage batteries (9 volts maximum).
The registration fee includes the electronic components necessary to carry out the modifications, and the necessary tools.
*Online tickets can not be purchased the same day, but can be purchased at the ticket office. Full pass give the right to access all activities in the festival but not the circuit bending workshop.
