Circuit-Bending.

Or, for the tweakers out there, Frankensteining.

Anyone out there a fan of this process?

I stumbled on the hobby several months ago.
Havn't finished any bends yet, but I have a handful of projects in the works.

On that note, anyone else out there read Reed Ghazala's "Circuit-Bending: Build Your Ow Alien Instruments?"

There's something about getting an instrument or toy and altering it to make something different that just interests me.

I second that. The day I find a Speak and Spell will be the best of days.
