Humanthesizer is Pure, Bikini-Clad, Synth-Infused Joy

Not content with merely banging out tunes on his laptop alone, electronic musician Calvin Harris enlisted 15 bikini models and a bucket of conductive paint to help recreate one of his songs. With support from Sony Music UK and Bare conductive body ink, Harris rigged a a series of patches in Max/MSP and Ableton Live that trigger when a model closes a circuit with her hands or feet. With everyone smeared up and standing around, it’s hard to see how this would come together, but hit the jump and you’ll find a perfectly servicable version of Harris’ “Ready for the Weekend.” The happily dancing bikini models do make the song a little better.
