An Overview of Video Glitch / Synth Gear Makers in 2021

Until now, there's never been a video that covers the many artists and engineers producing analog video hardware in the present day. This is intended for viewers both new and familiar with the analog video art scene, and will be especially helpful for those looking for custom analog video hardware for the first time.
I've divided tools into two categories: glitch processors (usually circuit bent) and video synthesizers (usually original circuits). Take with a grain of salt; there is definitely some overlap.
Don't overlook DIY Kits! It is always possible to build glitch gear and video synths yourself. Many of those mentioned even sell kits for you to solder together. I'd say before you rush into buying some expensive hardware, explore with what's possible with a kit, or mix and match video / audio signals yourself using basic, cheap, electronic components and some wires. You can achieve super cool effects just with an experimental attitude. Remember, there are no right answers, only creative ones!

single knob mixers you can build yourself at almost no cost. The ones Statikstruments and some others sell are (in my opinion) overpriced, but to be fair Statikstruments also sells circuit bent colorizers and noise enhancers which are a bit more sophisticated... just know the difference.

Please only subscribe to my channel if you're committed to engaging with my artistic endeavors, as I upload mostly art projects. If you're just here for my analog video tutorials, just stick to and save this playlist link somewhere: kzfaq.info/sun/PLVXeP7jCqoaGx5KLozn8sp8hPuk1iaDQ1 I'm trying to reduce the amount of "polite" but non-engaged subs I have, to help my channel in the algorithm. Thanks.

Lars (LZX) has estimated that the niche for analog video artists is extremely small- like 1000 people worldwide. It’ll be cool to see it grow and vids like this really help :)

Thank you so much for this man, you’re right about there not being much documentation on this stuff, especially when it comes to learning all of the terminology and how all of it works. I have had a 12 module LZX system for like 2 years now and still have no clue what I’m doing, well, not no clue whatsoever, but my knowledge has largely been gathered from me just screwing around and random posts on the LZX forum. Anyway, keep it up, you got a sub right here.

I'm an old school career TV techy come computer geek and Videot Savante who dove into the video art world in the late 80's and 90's, largely in conjunction with the digital art and demo scene enabled by the Amiga computer. Led me to teach electronic art and animation in the Amiga and video labs at Atlanta College of Art for several years. For a couple of those years, we did bi-weekly 4 hour video art broadcasts with live music tracking out of the cable local access studios using multiple Amigas that I (re)wired into the control room video switcher and patch matrix. SO KEWL to see this art form is seeing a renaissance! Thanks for bringing it up to radar level!

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video ! I've been interested in Audio and Video circuit bending since the mid 90's. Unfortunately the equipment for both in my country is so rare the prices are basically MilSpec ! You've got such a great grasp of the field and an exhaustive knowledge of the tools that it's inspired me to take another look at the DIY options. I'm so very glad that a new generation has taken up the mantle of this Art form and is running wild with the possibilities ! Thank you 👍
