Circuit Bent Clock Radio (shorter version)

My first circuit bending project, a clock radio. Whatever I did broke the radio, but the bent circuits create some tortured and angry noises suitable for framing. It hums! It buzzes! It screams when you touch it! (This is a shorter demo of the same device in my other video.)

It looks like you made a synthesizer out of that radio. Cool!

@JohnnyBoy267: Hey there, thanks for watching and commenting! Check out my other clock-radio bend, a Sony Dream Machine. The "controls" are much simpler (only four switches), but it makes similar noises and I didn't break the radio circuit, so it can do a cool "bit reduction" kind of effect on whatever's floating over the airwaves. :)

Yup! Some delay would go a long way toward making it more interesting. A harmonizer on the screamy stuff would also be pretty slick. :) Thanks.

Liked this video (2)! Liked the schematic,... liked the finger that would come into frame and point out special features. So and I are watching it again- very funny and excellent sounds. Need to do a demo with effects,..
