I have a wiggles guitar that I have stripped to the circuit board and found a number of interesting body contact points that result in rhythmic clicking or a number of different steady tones. At the moment, I haven’t “properly” bent it, but you can play the crazy thing just by rubbing your thumbs all over the exposed circuit board. I suppose that it would be a shame if the thing died from my playing, but I only payed $2 for it at the local sal-val, and I have already gotten ten times that much enjoyment out of it. I have this funky midcentury table lamp with no shade that I found on the side of the road. I’ve been thinking about putting it in there and trying to wire up the body contacts all over the exterior of it. Primitive but fun.

hey there, i do a bit of circuit bending too.

they all have internal speakers, so you dont need to plug in to have a good time.
however, i have made them modular, so the casio will mangle the sounds of the yamaha and will be recorded to a semi-homebrew looper.
