Circuit-Bending/Hardware Hacking Cafe

Circuit Bending is the creative act of briding and manipulating circuits to gain a wide spectrum of hidden sounds and images from musicals toys, to semi/professional Video and audio hardware. The circuit bender is an adventurer hunting down the connections of circuits for instersting noises and visualsisations. This Circuit Bending Cafe is a monthly meetup place where we discuss, build, bend things, share our ideas and knowledge, and hopefully make some music! Everybody is invited to come share ideas about bending, learn how to bend or just to make some collabrative noise! Things we are inrested in are especially:

• Creating simple synthesizer circuits with inverters
• Hacking Cd-Players and Walkmans for new intersting sound mods
• Hacking and bending musical toys and radios

• Writing our own musical programms using the free/OpenSoure Software Pure Data

• Building Mixers and Matrices from scratch

• All sorts of DIY-LoFi-Circuits and Instruments

• Making Sounds together

Feel free to bring your lost musical toys from your childhood, broken sound circuits from the fleamarket, guitars and effects, videomixers, cd-players and walkmans.

We bend everything that is not connected to 230 Volts. Things that will be bent should best run on battery!

So bring your toys and make some noise!
