CLASS DESCRIPTION

Circuit Bending Is One Of The Most Desired And Protected Skills Of Sound Designers Worldwide. Learn The Secrets Here.

In this class, we’ll talk about what Circuit Bending is, and how it works. We will get physical and actually bend an old keyboard, going through the process step-by-step. In the end, we will have a cool new keyboard capable of brand new sounds. We’ll even make a track with it.

In this class we will hit the road, going to some thrift shops to look for bendable instruments. We’ll do some time-lapse videos of taking things apart (complete with Benny Hill), and we will melt down some Spongebob Squarepants. Join this supremely weird class to see how it all unfolds.
