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.
“It's this band from Japan who make incredible music with instruments they made themselves.”

Actually I did stumble across it on my "weird music instruments" rabbithole last night! They also figured out how to somehow play TVs and a space heater as guitars?? ▶ this video
