Music of the Worm

Here's a seriously strange experiment involving an earthworm and a heavily hacked Yamaha PSS-470. This takes circuit bending to the extreme. Even though the worm survived and went back into the garden, it doesn't look too comfortable in it's role as an electronic musician.

"As for the machinations behind the pizzazz; a Yamaha FM synthesis board is sensitivised by overclocking it with a painfully high quartz crystal (17 Mhz), various components have either been removed or replaced, and the entire circuit hard wired to run on the lowest possible current/voltage (to avoid the worm getting hurt). The worm was safely returned to its natural habitat."
