DIVERSION OF ELECTRONIC OBJECTS FOR MUSICAL PURPOSES
When Ei Wada accidentally connected the audio and visual outputs for a television set the wrong way round he created stripes of “noise” on a television set. This led to the question of whether a shirt with the same kind of stripes printed on it could also produce audio signals and whether you could play music with such an item of clothing. And from these experiments was born the unique musical instrument that is the Striped Shirtsizer.
