This time I ventured into
the wonderful world of circuit bending. When i was looking for a
project to do I stumbled upon this. Circuit bending is taking old
school toys, taking them apart and connecting circuits that shouldn't
be connected together and possibly getting some sort of weird or funky
sound out of it. The idea behind circuit bending is taking these old
school toys and turning them into something unique and possibly uuse
them as samples for songs or beats. You can regulate these with
switches or potentiometers and even your own fingers because the human
body is a circuit. What was really great about this project was the
process of finding those circuits. Exploring the circuit board and
learning what goes to where and what regulates what just by trial and
error. And learning from that and using that knowledge for modifying
the other toys that are to come.
