12 circuit bent Pikachu make beautiful music

by Paul Miller, posted Nov 2nd 2006 at 4:22PM

We're not quite sure what sort of cacophony is produced by this 12 Pikachu orchestra, but honestly... how could you go wrong with this many narcissistic pocket monsters all in one place? Mr. RUN DMC (aka Kaseo) and his circuit bent army here recently performed their various noises in Tokyo, Japan, and if you head on over to his site you can peep the rest of his circuit bending projects, along with with the freaky noises and video of a singular circuit "bent" Pikachu, which is pictured after the break.

Reminds of a show I saw, Sonic Boom opening for Spriritualized. He had rewired a group of Speak N Spell devices and played them at the same time -- through some effects pedals, if memory serves -- to create a destrorted, droning wall of noise.

What? There is no comment on that toggle switch yet. I'm sure that was intentional and not a coincidence.

Terry must be dense...as the first post was a reference to the toggle switch.

No John G, Terry is NOT dense. The comment was made before anyone posted any comments at all. I just entered my comment late. I had not refreshed my link before I posted my comment. People who don't think about these possibilities are the dense people. And apparently John G is as dense as they come. This Blog is not a forum for bashing, keep your stupidity to yourself.

Red vs Blue comes to mind.. with a robot switch in a similar location--

"It's.. stuck."
"Did you try wiggling it?"
"What?! No way man! I am not wiggling your dongle!"
"Come on... I'll buy you dinner"
"Fine..."
"so... you from around here baby?"

:P
