Daito Manabe Reveals The Music Within


In case you were wondering how, exactly, your face could become a musical instrument without you ever having to sing a note, sound artist Daito Manabe is here to help. The above clip of him winking, twitching, and wiggling his nose to the beat of the music playing beneath him–and possibly creating those beats through those facial movements–is transfixing enough that even the boilerplate “it sounds fake!one” comments aren’t much of a bother.

    From what I’ve read about this elsewhere, I was under the impression that this was actually electric shocks causing muscle contractions timed to music, rather than face-controlled composition.

    Come on, those facial contortions are inhuman!
