The re-broadcast of the original intro to our circuit bending workshops, Dan Demchuk gives an overview of what to expect from Circuit Bending 101. Trained by several of Chicago's more prominent benders, Dan brings to this series his experience and a lot of good circuit bending horror stories.

Circuit Bending 101 is a course in pure analog sound in it's rawest form. Join Gearwire over the next few months as we delve further and further into the realm of circuit bending.
