While Ghazala says that he was not the first circuit bender, he coined the term Circuit Bending in 1992.<ref name="Deahl_2018"/>

[[Serge Tcherepnin]], designer of the [[Serge modular synthesizer]]s, discussed<ref name="Vail_2000"/> his early experiments in the 1950s, with the [[transistor radio]], in which he found sensitive circuit points in those simple electronic devices and brought them out to "body contacts" on the plastic chassis. Prior to Mark's and Reed's experiments other pioneers also explored the body-contact idea, one of the earliest being [[Thaddeus Cahill]] (1897) whose [[telharmonium]], it is reported, was also touch-sensitive.

Since 1984, Swiss duo [[Voice Crack]] created music by manipulating common electronic devices in a practice they termed "cracked everyday electronics".<ref name="Paris_2008"/>
