The human body acts like an antenna that can sense any sort of electric fields. This accumulated amount of electricity can be discharged on a physical device of high impedance like an amplifier. The amplified voltage can be then conducted to speakers which translate this electric signal into sound. Depending on the way the contact is established between the body and the amplifier and because almost no current is needed to keep the volts up, various noises can be produced from buzz, clicks, pops and other hums.

This collection of sounds is manipulated and stored live into diverse audio and video patterns. New noises keep on being added to the sequence and start to build more and complex rhythms and visuals.
