Circuit Bending mini-workshop at RURALC
During the 25th and 26th December 2010 we developed a circuit bending workshop in Villanueva de los Infantes, at RURAL C space, within the project Dio3stu.
The initiative grew out of interest of 3 people to learn this technique of building electronic musical instruments.
So we teach the basic knowledge and we made 2 instruments, one of them more or less finished, called "Chessboard".
For the instrument "Checkerboard" we used a 6 € toy piano. For the chassis we used a box of Ferrero Rocher.
When performing the bending we add a Pitch, 2 filters, a noise and a pitcher of loops.
We leave you a video to watch how it works in one of the tests

Apresentação/Instalação/Performance de Circuit Bending – 9 de Outubro
At Convento de S. FranciscoSábado, 9 de Outubro 2010 | 22H00 - Free Entry
Orientation Studio3 - João Bastos, João Sofio e Tiago Fróis
Participation António Crosa, Joana Sá, João Gargaté, Marco Franco, Rita Sá, Rodolfo Pimenta, Sérgio Gregório e Vítor Estudante.
Circuit Bending is the creative short-circuiting of low voltage electronic devices, such as toys, synthesizers and devices that produce sound from lines with the aim of creating new musical instruments and visual arts, emphasizing spontaneity and randomness.
Circuit Bending is usually associated with noise music, though many contemporary musicians engage in these new facilities by the experimental spontaneous that these machines offer. Usually it involves the dismantling of devices by adding components such as switches and potentiometers to cause intentional modulations in sound.
This workshop was held in the format of residence with the participation of musicians and artists from several areas, with the aim of providing a common place for sharing and creation.

Circuit Bending at El entresuelo
Linking April to May 2010, We´ve been at Elche with our project Dio3Stu
El entresuelo, an art and design company, had ordered and reserved a corner at their place to have one of our pieces of circuit bending.
The piece is a site-specific project that is built into one corner of the study. Mix basic sounds with samplers of phonetic poetry.
It´s integrated some metal letters acting as variable resistors.
An specific poetic sound object for this study of design.
We began taking to pieces some pianos of "Chinese shop" and a pair of Megaphones costing 6 and 8 €. We seek the most interesting points of these power circuits for bending:
Once we took in parts the instruments and seeing their potential, we developped the design of the plastic sheet and bent it with a blowtorch. El Entresuelo´s staff gave us some metal letters to create variable resistors.
We set three modified circuits in the following order:
2 megaphones - Top and bottom (yellow buttons and LEDs)
A piano - Central part (buttons and red LEDs)
)
We drilled to insert these power circuits and electronic components, moving the modified circuits we had created.
Afterwards, we coloured the wall´s hollow and the plastic sheet with fluorescent to highlight the letters.
The sheet with everything inserted:
The sounds that were recorded in the two samplers of megaphones were the pronunciation of these metal letters (R,Z,G,B,N,F)+ and the word "el entresuelo".
The sound of the megaphones can be altered by potentiometers and touching the metal letters whose LEDs are switched on.
By activating two at a time, we get different coupling and interferences.
Central module has a “start” (red buttom) which activates different melodies, a "noise" (green button) that distorts and becomes plane melody, and several letters that act as "pitch" and "distortion" in its potential combinations.
With all that we got successfully destroy melodies to noise and also we can play in a percussive way. El entresuelo´s Corner has become one of those Dio3Stu machines you get interact with space and sound. Even you could think you´re talking to the wall through this sound piece.
We have some samples videos:
