definition circuit bending (v) ~
gingerly annoying 90s garage sale electronics until they throw a tantrum like an exhausted child
DID YOU KNOW? you can circuit bend a dog by tactically, gradually irritating it¹ more and more over the course of ~20 minutes. by repeatedly poking dog. poke
not hard. not enough to piss dog off. poke
...but hard enough that a latent sense of irritation begins to build over the course of a few minutes. poke
dog is now getting a bit tense. poke
dog hasn't gotten mad the last seventeen times; why should dog get mad at 18? the world is not supposed to be this mutable. poke
dog is getting freaked out. what is this uncanny purgatory between usual poles of dog mood?! dog has never had mixed feelings before, and it is incredibly disorienting
POKE
dog cannot take these strange vibes anymore. dog EXPLODES WITH SOUND
arrooYAWrOWLowl [internally smashing dog keyboard in hed]
dog begins to spin around in circles, adding a leslie effect to sound output, occasionally interrupted by darting off towards th- WAIT NEVER MIND ARReiordhkjfg WOFF WOFfgjhk
emotion has been earthed. ...dog suddenly feels tired dog sits down. dog farts
dog forgives you. just don't make a regular thing of this, ok? if you try it again because you set the levels on your sampler wrong dog will actually bite u
...and this is how you circuit bend² dog³. if you're looking for something with more immediate results, xltronic would recommend giving a talking parrot a thimbleful of hooch⁴
¹ this is the dog's preferred gender pronoun, thank you for asking
² remember never to poke the dog so much you get bitten; this is like circuit bending something that's powered from mains
³ husky dogs are a classic choice; the speak and spells of dog circuit bending;
⁴ this will void the warranty on your parrot.

Dogs are funny amazing and cool. Even the terrible ugly little shitty ones at the dog parks prol arnt that bad, I’m just opinionated.
When I go to the dog parks a few s days a week, even the pit bulls are usually just huge pieces of meat and they are fun.
There’s usually more people at the dog park I’d like to have put down then the 3-4 legged creatures themselves.

right, not a dog person, but those critters become addictive if you have em. sitted one for 2 weeks and missed him so fast and the stuff he does.
anyway, i dont agree with 90% of dog owners and breeders, but its way too early in the morning to get into this shit.

i tried this when i was approximately ten or eleven, once
dog and i were best buddies. yellow lab who, actually, probably never would have bit me no matter what. she'd definitely communicate though, if she was annoyed, but that took quite a bit
anyways, i was the sort of child who, upon seeing someone's dog fetch the paper, said, "i want a dog myself, so i can train it to bark at salad" and i was asking my dad if this was possible. he rightly got lost in "well, COULD a dog actually distinguish salad?" rather than questioning the validity of the idea in the first place. i miss him
anyways, i ran experiments on dog sometimes. i.e. ~ i can poke her so she only just notices ["hey, what? oh you poked me very very gently"] but what happens if i keep doing this? and every time her attention wandered off after a very soft poke, i poked her again and
trust me, that's how you circuit bend a dog. afterwards, i thot: wow! that was freaking intense! but now that i've seen what happened i love my dog and i'm never doing that again
so get your sampler levels right if you try this. because, as a decent dog owner, i'd argue you are allowed to do this precisely once
i'm waiting to get yelled at about the parrot thing too?

"anyways, i ran experiments on dog sometimes. i.e. ~ i can poke her so she only just notices ["hey, what? oh you poked me very very gently"] but what happens if i keep doing this? "
It's more effort than it's worth reading a sentence written in this fashion.

The content of the sentence, syntax aside, is also lackluster.

the real, actual raisin this point my thred'm, is we thot:
ha! circuit bending, its best practices, are like that time i poked my dog every time her attention wandered until she essentially had a psychedelic experience
i suppose it is actual advice, too. circuit bending: if you go in hard you're liable to simply fry the more finnicky bendable things. it's best to be very relaxed about it; casually harass the circuit and try to feel how it reacts. poke, poke. until you feel it starting to djhfgkdfg a little when you go over there, and so you go closer, but with the same gentle advance. then there's a bizarre moment where it suddenly comes to life in a dervish and spews out all sort of BZzzzrtAROOOoo and alright, let's mark that one with a sharpie
plan out your panel layout in advance and drill all the holes at once. the comparison to poking dogs breaks down about here
thus concludes the point i wanted to make all along. i'm simply realizing these things need a bit to breathe

if you do it right, there are literally hundreds of thousands of dollars available for you, to research about how "circuit bending is queering capitalism", if u think im shitting u then pay attention.
have fun.

1) at the end of the day i just want to make the things i see or hear in my hed, and if i could get even a few $10k units out of bending -- i'm interested
i've never sold garbage, i never will sell garbage. it will be good shit. from there, as long as i am personally satisfied it's mustard, i have no problem with absurdly inflating the price because there are cultural reasons someone will pay that much. nor do i have any problem with dressing it up aesthetically somehow to hit the right notes.
about where it's like "oh, fuck no, i'm out" is having to be a talking head on youtube. riced out marketing says my issue here is "discovery," whatever that means

2) here is my post on livecoding ~
here, working on brevity. four-word summary of livecoding
livecoding, keywords: bushwick, cocaine
watching someone write computer code live to generate music, or whatever. that, like, can we count the number of obstacles in between you and the audience, impediments to this actually being a moving form of art? that, like, i am a software engineer, and this will actually ruin it for me simply because they use a lot of functional programming language shit i usually don't and i'm going to be standing there in space and trying to adjust to the code i'm not used to reading. then this is a live thing and you're expecting people who are not even as bad as i am to follow along and feel some sort of personal communication from it -- no, this is just "hey mom, look at me" in front of your friends. i'm open to other interpretations
much more interesting that... charles dickens wrote good books to read, but no small part of the reason you know the name is he'd show up and retell the book aloud in a shorter way, dialed in for the house, and just blow the doors off of the place. that we can split apart being a good storyteller and having a good story to tell and you need both.
