An artist has come up with a new way of seeing what music looks like, by electrocuting the faces of his friends.

Daito Manabe from Japan attaches a series of electrodes to people's faces which creates a "mild" electrocution in time with the music.

This causes muscles in their face to involuntarily spasm, producing quite a sight. Daito, who is also a computer programmer, says he now wants to add flashing lights in peoples mouths too.

Personally we would like to see a high profile musician us the tech in their next music video ... that was an elaborate way of saying we want to see James Blunt electrocuted by his own wasn't it?
