ABSTRACT
In Thales’ time, the arena of discovery was invitingly open to the layman. Today, however, it seems as though corporate monopolization and private R&D labs have successfully distanced the “threshold of invention” from the common person. Circuit-Bending changes all this. The circuit bent “living instrument” has made peace with time. There is no battle perceived. The finite lifecycle of a living instrument is something the author accept as being natural and intrinsic to its being, function, and its purpose. Good circuit-bending points produce unusual tones without great changes in volume. Make a chart of successful bending points or code them right on the board with a marker. Once the users have touched a number of points with the traveling end of the jumper, move the stationary end to a different point and start all over.
