    A short music video by the Japanese group Electronicos Fantasticos, led by Ei Wada, playing festival-style music on repurposed old electronics. Instruments include CRT TVs, a barcode reader, an electric fan harp and TV taiko drums.

    HN users share it as a delightful example of people making real music from obsolete electronics and self-built instruments.

      I was browsing YouTube the other day, and got recommended something similar: this video Very interesting indeed! The title of the video translates to "Electromagnetic festival music".

      Reminds me of Electronicos Fantasticos (Japan) who re-purposes old items (TV's old fans, barcode scanners etc...) and makes electronic music. Super interesting stuff! this video
