A synthesizer (or synthesiser) is an electronic instrument that is capable of producing a variety of sounds by generating and combining signals of different frequencies, which can either imitate other instruments, such as flutes or guitars, or generate unusual new timbres.

So, humanthesizer is synthesizer made from human, in this case made of, er, pretty ladies! Take 15 bikini-clad lovelies, paint them in special ink and put them in a dance studio with special conductive pads on the floor and, hey presto, you have the Humanthesizer. (But this is not about the ladies.)

Basically, the ladies stand on conductive pads on the floor, and paint their (and Harris’s) hands with the conductive skin-safe ink called Bare Conductive. When Harris slaps his hands against those of the ladies, a small current travels through their bodies and onto the pads on the floor, which triggers a sound, all without the girls feeling a thing (Giz).

This is made to promote Calvin Harris’s single, Ready for the Weekend. And the album already out now! If you need a preview of this new album take a look at his MySpace, genre: Electro, Electroclash, Pop, Disco, Dance.
