Side story Em 2010, conheci o movimento circuit bending por acaso através de vídeos na internet enquanto assistia o vídeo Música de Brinquedo da banda Pato Fu e havia sugestões de vídeo sobre circuit bending ao lado. Achei interessante e comecei a pesquisar sobre o assunto e a fazer meus primeiros instrumentos modificados. Na mesma época, achei para vender na internet o livro: Circuit Bending, Build Your Own Alien Instruments – Reed Ghazala. Tempo depois, percebi que não existia páginas e blogs em português sobre Circuit Bending no Brasil. Surgiu a ideia da página no facebook Circuit Bending Brazil, já existia as páginas Circuit Bending Italia, Circuit Bending Argentina, porém ninguém havia feito até então uma página sobre circuit bending no Brasil. Depois mudei meu canal pessoal no Youtube para Raphaela Elpidio – Circuit Bending Brazil onde posto vídeos de funcionamento de cada instrumento que construo em casa.
