Worms Making Music II

Destabilized F synthesis circuit from a Yamaha PSS-470 running the lowest possible current and a worm created improvised music. As the worm slithered about on the circuit, sounds are emitted. It's a special performance piece from a worm. No worms were hurt in the process. The worm was returned to its natural habitat at the end of the experiment. Interesting idea.
