ANTI-THEORY.COM is where the art of circuit-bending was launched on the internet, the site that all bent instruments can be traced to, and the how-to information has always been free (an extension of Reed Ghazala's twenty writings donated to EMI magazine, 1992-97). If ANTI-THEORY has helped you, please consider a donation toward this growing site and the additional how-to content we're always working on. Thank you for supporting free DIY cyberspace.

Circuit-bending, for the most part, is self-illustrative. Following these guidelines the art will begin to unfold itself for the experimenter.

While this discussion has remained fairly topical to construction techniques, much of the intrigue of this new art lies in the growing extra-technical anti-theory it illustrates and the new contemplations of music that circuit-bending forces. In addition to the materials to be found across the many branches of this web site, further insights into the wider implications of circuit-bending can be found by the links section.
