Circuit bending

Imagine you have a toy that makes some cool sounds when you press a button. Now, imagine you take apart the toy and start changing the wires and buttons inside it. You move some wires around and add new buttons or switches. Suddenly, the toy doesn't just make cool sounds anymore - it makes weird and unexpected noises! That's what circuit bending is.

Basically, circuit bending is when you take apart electronic devices like toys, keyboards, or synthesizers and change the way they work by rearranging the wires and electronics inside. Sometimes it involves adding new parts or switches, or even combining parts from different devices. The end result can be a completely unique and unpredictable sound experience.

It's like being a mad scientist, using your imagination and creativity to experiment with electronics and make something entirely new and exciting. It's a way of turning ordinary electronic devices into musical instruments that you can play and make your own music with.
