Analogue square wave oscillator housed in an ancient capacitor case. Pitch is controlled by light and by dial.
Roth Mobot, Chicago, IL -
Patrick McCarthy and Tommy Stephenson form the duo Roth Mobot. They use sampling, an Amiga computer, and circuit-bent toys to immerse the audience in a constantly evolving bath of electronic sounds.

The team of students working with me to adapt my current circuit bending workshops to be better suited to kids, Spanish-speakers, and female participants. This photograph was from a short tutorial to teach the team how to solder. More info on the project can be found at: conceptlab.com/circuitbending/

Wiring the Arduino to the toy was a lot like circuit bending. I left the toy's "black blob" processor in place, and simply attached wires to important contact points. There are forward and backward wires for both the left and right sides (it's a skid-steer bot), a wire that causes the Rumble Robot to play "I am Lugnut; Prepare to get wrenched!" (a feature of the original toy), a wire to flash the LEDs on the front, etc. I have wires in place that are connected to the toy's built-in infrared Rx and Tx, but I'm not using them yet. I'm hoping they will work for IR proximity detection (so that I can *avoid* crashes instead of just recovering from them).

Soldering the wires onto the potentiometer which is used as a voltage starve feature in the circuit to create noise and strange effects.
Here are all the resistors used in the circuit. Basically, all the sounds come from manipulating a single resistance point. I didn't find any points on the board worth exploiting with a regularity, and these three controls added a ton of options as to what sounds could be created.
Sliders(from left to right) are volume, distortion, beep, and glitch. The two short sliders are LFO rate and amount and the dial and photocel control pitch. The rest is loops and glitches.
I have since put the 9 volt into the mod box and am printing up some stickers to label everything.
Garnet Hertz held a circuit bending workshop at the Institute for Multimedia Literacy in the School of Cinematic Arts at USC on August 5th 2010. The workshop was held as part of "Broadening the Digital Humanities", which is designed to foster innovative multimedia research. Sponsors include The University of California's Humanities Research Institute, USC's Institute for Multimedia Literacy and the electronic journal Vectors.
The Voltage Controller by Mr.Ugly. 2009.
5 voltage controlled oscillators+ voltage controlled sine wave and square wave oscillators=diving frogs and crickets.
Buddha Box, wire, brass, and conductive foam.
The Buddha Box is a little electronic gadget that plays any of 12 chants over and over again. I wired it up with a brass tablet and drumstick so I can play it like a drum-- each hit switches to a new chant. (A little bit of conductive foam on the end of the drumstick muffles the tapping sound.)
It sounds like this.
Performance by Martin Campillo at Erg (École de Recherche Graphique), Brussels, October 20, 2016.

Erg (École de Recherche Graphique), Arts Numériques-Atelier, 2016-2017.
Professor : Marc Wathieu.
2 long sliders control Volume and distortion. Toggles at top of sliders turn main power and distortion on and off. Short slider above "off" button controls tone vol. Toggles at bottom of sliders control loops. Red momentary switch is loop advance. 3 toggles by sliders are glitch loops. Two toggles on bottom are glitch and repeat. Pitch dial on bottom. Pitch select on right side. Pitch photocel and body contacts on the face right of enter key.
Nick Alexander's "Handmade Drum Machine". I don't think the tile of this does it justice. Nick played it alonside a circuit bent game, but best of all when he first plugged it in it broke (the axel turned off its support) and he whipped out some pliers and set to work to mend it!
