Daito Manabe: electric stimulus to face - test - Videos

Facial music, indeed. Daito Manabe has made the music the controller and his face the controlled in a new project. (As several commenters were quick to note, I got this exactly backwards when I posted this a few minutes ago: his face is the output, and the music the input.)Daito Manabe is a Japanese-based composer, media artist, and DJ who does strange and wonderful things with inputs. This time, he’s hooked up electrical outputs to his face, so multimedia software Max/MSP, his usual tool of choice, can sequence muscle movements via electrical pulses transmitted directly to the surface of his face.(Text by Peter Kirn, taken from: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/10/27/daito-manabe-makes-music-with-parts-of-his-face/)
