If you're interested, I have this book and want to sell it. It's going for $14 all around the internet, so something like that + ship and it's yours. Like Logan said, it's a really great resource for beginners, not to mention a great reference.

i highly recommend this book to beginners.

The Reed Ghazala book is good. He doesn't assume you know anything about electronics, and he clearly lays out all the gear you need to get started. It also has an appendix full of detailed diagrams of various bends for easy-to-acquire devices (like Speak & Spells and Casio SK-1s).

I learnt about this guy back when I was at university in Leeds in 2002. Here is a link to his website with more info. Really interesting guy: http://www.anti-theory.com/

just fer lulz...

but yeah,
Reed Ghazala's book is great. he's even got diagrams of simple
electronic tasks like wire twistings, simple soldering, soldering to
existing pins/pots, bridges... etc, etc, etc... i learning A LOT
from the book.

Well, searching "circuit bending for dummies" in google I got my not-updated-in-a-long-time website as the first link smile...
http://www.oscillateur.com/circuitbending/faq
It's just some text, though...

Videos as the one above are definitely a good thing. And check Ghazala's old tutorial on anti-theory.com, it's quite good.

A very good thing to do would be to go to a bending workshop if there's one near where you live. When I was in Paris I organized/participated in quite a few and people usually learn really fast when you can show them this stuff directly.

start there...

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p … amp;page=4

check out the "how to" videos on that page and the next..

Or just open up a toy and start poking around.
that's how i learned. smile


I also recommend Reed's book to everyone i know who wants to get started.
he's an amazing writing and does a great job illustrating things.

Do you have any recommended videos/websites/books for a beginner's guide to circuit bending? And does anyone sell bumper circuit bending packs? I have a soldering iron, but I assume I need wires/switches etc, I'm not sure what to get! Any help would be appreciated.
