Progress Report

I have found a way to rewire the Casio I have recently purchased and now I am inspired by the 80's and 90's for the exhibition. I want to give a vibe of those years by adding funky lights to the presentation of my keyboards.
I have finally made my video that will be playing during the exhibition for others to play along with me.
Enjoy the video!

Progress Report 11/23/15

Throughout this whole project, I have gone through 4 different keyboards and last night, the Buzz Lightyear one gave up on me, ruining the symphony I had already made for it. BUT!! I found this old school Casio keyboard at Savers and saved my life at the last minute. Let's see what cool things it could do when I'm done circuit bending it.

Progress Report: Audio Clip of Symphony

This will be the intro of the symphony I am making for this project. I will be adding a little bit more tweaks to it and adding another keyboard as well. This sound clip has 2 different circuit bent keyboards being played at once as I start creating my symphony and then displaying a whole video of myself playing my keyboards.

Location for The Symphony of Circuit Bend

For my project, I would like to display it in a gallery space. Preferably in the gallery on the 2nd floor in order for the sound and image to be heard. This space is small and perfect for the display of the video and keyboards to be viewed and played with.

Update on Circuit Bending

As I have mentioned in class, I am planning on projecting my video on a dvd player, projected on a wall with a table displaying my keyboards. The video will be playing and displayed in a place where it is visible and easy to hear. I want to be able to display my keyboards and have people interact with them as well.

Weekly Update

 

I have recently purchased a new keyboard and other toys that could potentially work for circuit bending. I bought a toy laptop, a mathematical toy with sounds, and another keyboard. After trying to circuit bend these three objects, I have come to realize that keyboards are more successful and easier to circuit bent because of the amount of sounds and keys that they have. This keyboard will be different from the other two because the keys will be making crazy sounds.
