Dude, what's a circuit bent video mixer? And how do I get one?

this:

mine was made by the dude who made the video above, token recluse or big pauper. i think he has some affiliation w/ the folktek team. he's a really cool dude. ive stayed in touch w/ him since i snagged it on ebay, ive seen a few that he's made since then, but they are far and few. i just search for ciruit bent every so often.
i'd be happy to pass along his email if you are interested in talking with him. i'm sure he wouldnt mind

this dude karl klomp is , i think, like the godfather of video circuit bending. much like a reed ghazala but for video mixers instead of casios & speaknspells.
theres alot of cool devices and info on there. i couldnt find it just now, but there is some info on there on how to do some of the bending yourself.

What kinda video mixer are you using anyway?
It's like there's only $150 things that do like two patterns or ridiculous $5000 things that make 1970s music videos.

He has a circuit bent video mixer he bought from a dude who doesn't make very many of them, and a Korg Kaoss Pad Entrancer that does video sampling / effects. They are SO MUCH FUN to play with even though I've only played with them a few times.

Archy can tell you more about the dude who sells the bent mixers.
(Sorry if I stole your thunder )

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

plenty of thunder to go around my friend!

in addition to whats already been said (peep my response to Psyre as well, a page or two back if u missed it)

the video mixer i have is a panasonic wj-ave 3. i think its like a 90s jawn, its got some cool fx on its own, but the magic is hidden in the bends and breakout box.
the bends are triggered by audio fed into the mixer via the aux in's and are controlled by the breakoutbox. the breakout box has some knobs and some touch sensors.
theres lots of patch points on the mixer that u can connect to the b.o box in infinite ways, jack some audio into it, mess w/ the controls and blast off.

they are so much fun, not for those prone to seizures tho (hehe)
if u stumble upon one, snag it.
u can do so much cool shit w/o really knowing that much about making videos (see: me)
