Moog Music has announced the 3rd Annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge, to be held at Moogfest 2012:
Wake up, Benders, Modders, and Hardware Hackers; it’s time for the third annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge!
This year, we were so inspired by Google’s amazing tribute to Bob Moog with the groundbreaking Moog Doodle, we’ve decided to incorporate it into the festivities.
Here’s what you need to know: This year’s contest is to create a circuit bent sampler. Film your bend process and a musical performance with your final creation. The device you bend does not have to originally be a sampler, it just needs to be able to sample external sounds after the bends and mods have been put in place & it must be able to take samples on the fly with no computer interface needed. Also, the sampler must be solely populated with sounds from Google’s amazing Moog Doodle.
Details are available at the Moog site.
