Calvin Harris has performed a version of his new single ‘Ready for the Weekend’ on the aptly named “Humanthesizer”, the unique and first ever human synthesizer. The instrument employs 15 bikini clad models and a new electric body ink that when painted on the skin, allows a current to be passed through the body without causing an electric shock. 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 each other on the hands or body to complete a circuit and trigger a sound.
The project is the result of collaboration between Calvin Harris, creatives Phil Clandillon and Steve Milbourne at Sony Music, Columbia Records and a group of masters students from the RCA’s Industrial Design Engineering program.
