Human Synths

The Humanthesizer by Calvin Harris Turns Bare Body Paint into Sexy Live Arts

Ever wanted to see a Humanthesizer in action? Here’s your chance.

For those of you wondering, “What the heck is a Humanthesizer?” you’d better check out this video to see what Calvin Harris put together. He turned 15 bikini-clad models into musical industry, thanks to partnerships with Sony Music UK and Bare conductive body ink (which we’ve featured here before).

The “first human synth” tune played by the Humanthesizer is Calvin Harris’ own song, “Ready For The Weekend” which is put together note by note through the action of the models covering up the Bare conductive body ink circuits on their hands and feet.

Check out the sure to become viral Humanthesizer video above.
