Circuit-bending is a term used to designate creative and innovative modifications (based on short-circuiting) on low-voltage electronic devices (children's toys, guitar pedals, etc.) with the aim of creating new musical instruments and sound generators.

The circuit-bending technique is normally developed on recycled devices or devices found on the streets or in second hand shops. After their transformation, such objects, rejected by society, acquire a new life form completely different from the one planned by the original manufacturer. These devices, originally not associated with music production, eventually become musical instruments in certain aesthetics of experimental contemporary music.

Knowledge on electronics is not require in order to attend this workshop.
