Worms Making Music

Here we see an ensemble of worms creating sweet, sweet electroacoustic music on an electric touch contact feedback device (battery powered). No worms were harmed, despite the fact that they appear alarmed. They secrete albumen which is a sort of numbing thing (I think). Anyways, they were hastily removed and now live happily outside once again.
I believe that worms will be writing the pop hits of the future.

guys u should try and hear some EFTOS

[ashfordaisyak]

Eftos are a bit too 1990s for me.

[slacknhash]

Some interesting squeals on that. Any other invertebrate / electronic noises in the pipeline? Might get some good mileage out of some moths and a theremin...

[ashfordaisyak]

That's a wondrous idea, slacknhash! However, insects and capacitance-based distance sensors are bad bedfellows. Theremins are of this type, and methinks each moth would need to be electrically earthed whilst wearing a bulbous electrode: some kind of chainmail worn around the moth's torso, linked to a hair thin length of copper braid connected to a suitable earth. The only person skilled enough in nanosculpture to realise this is Willard Wigan - but he only works in the medium of eyelash, sadly.

You are sick!!! somebody shoud put you on an electric table (or chair) than you can wallow and make some funny noise!!!

[ashfordaisyak]

It was never supposed to be 'funny', Mr. Mainstreams. This is just your misinterpretation. And yes, I do electrocute myself willingly almost every day hence I develop instruments that are designed specifically to interfere with coordination, skew haptics, etc. Accidental flourishes can be very interesting in music, so to actively engineer them may be fruitful...

The worms are suffering much less than Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears, and are producing more interesting sounds.

[AlfRedMcD]

This is a really orginal idea. You had this thought, people told you that it was stupid. You went ahead with it and made the video. And people are trying to tell you it's stupid now.

Thoose people are wrong man. You did something unique. Nobody else has done this. You created something cool. Don't worry about thoose people who try to put you down.

Keep up the good work.

@ashfordaisyak as distasteful as this may be: WINNING

[Zeanu]

Imagine the sounds actually being the screams of the worms.

[jollymon001]

IDEA!!! flying insect + metallic spray paint+ your awesome circuit bending doodads = The first biological Theremin! Yeah that's right, suck it PETA! After you win the noble prize for your "bioromin" you should paint your self with silver krylon and run through a circuit bent fusion reactor. Mah brain is HUGE! make me famous!!!!

[Wierdoinc]

that's AWESOME

[m1ke420]

thats like looking forb life in outer space

[m1ke420]
