Sexiest Instrument of Day: Calvin Harris promotes his new single, Ready For The Weekend, by rubbing conductive ink on pretty girls in bikinis and playing them like a synthesizer (or Humanthesizer if you will).
Science!:
The instrument consists of 34 pads on the floor which have been painted with the conductive ink and connected to a computer via some clever custom electronics. The performers stand on the pads, and touch hands to complete a circuit and trigger a sound. Different combinations of pads trigger the different sounds needed to play the track.
