for some reason I've only just got into this - well admittedly only from an armchair perspective w/ youtube videos and such - and checking out some of the pre-made toys available on ebay (yes its cheating but some are pretty sweet imo - i.e. the freakenteach) ... also the realization that dub sirens are really just home-made circuit bents put into a tidy pedal box...

yeah so does anyone on the board fuck around like this??? and if so POST AUDIO!!

Sure, its big in LA.

One friend of mine recently made a sample library of all circuit bent sounds.

Dr. Rek, leader of the Circuit Bent marching band, and all around Bending nutcase, lives in Japan these days.

Daedelus is a circuit bender also.

I like bending, though i personally, am more into bending from an informed position.

I use a 20 year old Radio Shack 130 in 1 project kit, which has a number of synths you can build, and then you can really start fucking with shit.

Played a gig last year with Dr Rek, I was wearing the computer monitor, he was in his Teletubbies outfit, with a projector showing circuitbent videos on his white tummy.

What a guy!

You don't want to go with the post for that, these things cost less than the shipping service. Flea markets and 2nd hand shops are the way to go.
I bought 5 toys & keyboards for 15 EUR yesterday (batteries included

). Fucked 2 of them already but the others seem more resistant and make nasty sounds.

Anyone into circuit bending???
