Body Player
Body Player is a sonic engine that makes sound when one person touch the other.

To make these, every person has to hold one wire of the two that has the machine.

Depending on how surface you hold of the wire and the skin of the other modulates the sound. More surface, more lower note, less surface, more higher the pitch.

In this case the machine is a modified Computone Cassette Player Recorder, typical of old Zx Spectrum tape programs loader.
Disconnect from cable. Use it with batteries.
Open it.
Press Play on the Tape and maybe pause.
There are various points on the circuit board where touching with the fingers you obtain sounds. Cause works with batteries there is no danger, dont worry.

In this image there are two posible points.
Soldering the two wires to these points you complete the process.
Lets play.

You can use it alone, one wire on each hand, but is more funny colaborate, touching one person that holds too a wire.

Every person has one wire on hand and touchs the other with the free hand.

If you add and audio input to the engine (soldering what you want to enter on the Tape Head wires, or a Car Cassete Cd adapter) with the bodyes you will modify the entering sound.
