Today, Jacob found out that his little mini DIY amplifier he made awhile back can be "circuit bent" to create amazingly annoying noises (as Jeffrey can attest). Anyway, we both started jamming with it and created this awesome little video. Check it out at youtube: here.

In the video, you see both Jacob and myself playing the amplifier with our fingers. We are shorting it out to make different noises and to create distortion. We are using an oldschool gameboy as our source noise and running it through one of the most ghetto speaker systems in existance: two 2 inch speakers using CDR spindle cases as the speaker case. In part of the video - we wrapped the speakers in shirts to muffle the noise. It was apparently really annoying.

For those of you not in the "know" - circuit bending is when you take an electronic something or another and short circuit certain parts of it to make it do something interesting. This is often done with various musical or audio toys; making them into awesome "instruments." For more videos and what not check out this dope gallery of circuit bent toys and whatnot.
