Skin Instrument by Daan Brinkmann, is a musical instrument which works using skin resistance as a parameter to generate sound. It can be played by two players simultaneously. When players touch one of the semi spheres they become part of an electronic circuit consisting of a tiny, imperceptible current. When the players now start to touch each other on the skin this circuit starts to generate sound. The intensity of the touch determines the modulation of the sound.
