Circuit bending consists of taking apart an electronic item and exploring along with experimenting with the system’s wires consecutively to produce an innate sound. When individual is circuit bending them use an array of electronics which varies from the electronic spectrum, like a child toy similar to a Furby to a more advance electronically organized system like Nintendo. Regardless of its inner wiring, circuit benders can manipulate electronics to create an innovated sound that easily coincides with any main stream instrument producing a sound like no other.
The festival for circuit benders provoked the same emotion of which is parallel to that of a child in a candy shop, due to the numerous activities, workshops and live music production all relating to circuit bending. The activities at place help ignite those individual who were fairly new at this technique while the workshops help further the aptitude of experienced benders. Toward the events ending there was live music by bending musicians.
Although this article was written three years ago, I simply choose this article on the bases that it enhance my comprehension of what it means to be a circuit bender. I was unaware that there are organized events committed to this form of art along with the notion that although at times it may be difficult in reproducing the same sound when circuit bending objects, the raw and original aural are qualities that motivate circuit benders to excel by surpassing their own innate expertise

I'd like to hear a circuit bending concert, because the only circuit bending I've heard so far like The Gameboy and the Furby has been obnoxious at best. I would be surprised to hear those noises turn into an organized stream of sound that is appealing to my ear. Also the variation of sound within the music would be interesting, because it seemed to me that there was only a small range of noises that could be emitted from a circuit bent object. AS a sort of "music of the future" it will be interesting to see this form of music develop and to see if it will become more widely popular.
