Follow on Google News | Moogfest and Moog Music announce 4th Circuit Bending ChallengeBy: Moogfest Circuit bending is a creative medium that combines technology, sonic artistry and creativity. By altering the internal circuitry of electronic devices such as keyboards, drum machines, and children's toys, circuit benders are able to produce new sounds not intended in the original design. In celebration of this creative curiosity that fueled a young Bob Moog and all of those that follow in his footsteps, Moog is sponsoring its 4th annual circuit bending contest. This year, Moog’s circuit bending contest is challenging entrants to take a battery powered device and circuit bend it into an instrument capable of creating new and unique sounds for a total budget of $70 or less. Entrants will create and post videos on YouTube featuring their completed instruments and documenting the process of their creation. Moog will select three finalists and invite them to showcase their creations at Moogfest in April of 2014 where Moog’s judges and the general public will decide a winner of the contest. Grand Prize: Moog Sub Phatty & Two Passes to Moogfest 2014 2nd Place: Moog Slim Phatty & Two Passes to Moogfest 2014 3rd Place: Moog Minitaur & Two Passes to Moogfest 2014 More information on the contest and a full list of rules for entries can be found at www.moogfest.com/ Stay updated on Moogfest through www.moogfest.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ Soldering isn’t required. You can use any medium you wish in order to bend your device including (but not limited to) bubble gum, bottle caps, foreign currency, used chopsticks, unicorn hair, or a really cool hat.
