Anyone know anything more about it than I do? There are so many youtube videos on it...

Circuit bending is pretty much what it says on the tin - taking an established circuit, and bending it around to create new sounds, routing parts of one part of a synth/sampler/toy/whatever through into another, and hearing what kinds of crazy noises pop up.

You can get some really cool sounds and rhythms out of most boxes - it's not something i've ever played with, but one of these days i'll probably pick up an old battery-powered Casio keyboard and see what can be done with it.
