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.

One can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if the late Farrah Fawcett used this ink for her pay-per-view body painting extravaganza “All of Me”. To hear what the song sounds like when not performed on half-nude women, watch the music video below:
