Darude-sandstorm played on a potato ocarina.
Never thought Id see that today.
And yesterday, I watched a man electrify and play a bbq grill with a contact mic, and another accidentally turn on a basement shower climbing the wall, drunk and high, during a live powernoise show where the crowd gleefully choked a performer out with a belt.
I have a strange life.

I was expecting the potato to be the whole shebang: lens, film, body. Because that would work, albeit not very well.
I’ll have to buy a potato and see what I can do with it.

I was really hoping this was some process by which potatoes were made light-sensitive, to directly produce an image. Am disappoint.
