Tokyo-based [Daito Manabe](http://www.daito.ws/en?ref=protein.xyz) has created a music video that visualises each beat through electro-shocked muscle movements.

For the track Straight and Arrow by New York artist [Falty DL](http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/faltydl?ref=protein.xyz), the Japanese digital artist used tailored-made electronic devices to stimulate the muscle movements of participants in line to the music.

Attaching the devices to the arms and hands of the 40 involved, Daito was able to visualize the music through the bodies of the participants: involuntarily jerking and pulsing their arms, hands and fingers with each beat.

It's an interesting way to think of the tangibility of music and its effect on the body, and like [Surface Sonification](http://prote.in/feed/2012/09/surface-sonification?ref=protein.xyz) and [The Sound of the Earth](http://prote.in/feed/2012/10/the-sound-of-the-earth?ref=protein.xyz) an example of thinking about music in a more sensorial way.
