🔨BREAK TOYS MAKE NOISE🔊: Circuit Bending Workshop

Turn a plastic toy into a unique electronic noise/glitch instrument then jam with it! Join us at Rockaway Park on Saturday 28th March for a full-day practical session in electronic experimentation.

Tickets here

This playshop focuses on the subversive art of circuit bending - identifying components, making them misbehave, and jamming together with our creations to push them beyond their intended limits.

Introduction: Learn about components, safe practices and glitch probing.

Break Toys: Find hidden "bent" sounds safely on a live circuit board then plan, solder, swap, bridge, and bypass circuit parts of your own project.

Make Noise: Mount an output socket and join the orchestra!

Take Home:

Circuit-Bending printed hand-outs.

The ‘Break Toys Make Noise’ hand-made fanzine.

A custom sample pack of the day’s recordings will be edited and emailed to participants after the event.

If you bring your own battery-powered toy, you’ll be leaving with a uniquely modified instrument.

Lunch: The Rockaway Park Café will be serving delicious lunches (~£10).

Tickets: £35. Bring a toy (AA/AAA only) and let’s make some noise!
