Human Jukebox Broadcasts Music From His Stomach: The iPod Orifice
FREDERIK Hjelmqvist, 45, has broadcast music live from his stomach. Inside Hjelmqvist’s tummy is a device. It’s a small battery-powered machine – 1.2inches long by 0.6inches wide.
Amid the sounds of digesting food, music fans can make out Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive and the Village People’s YMCA, channelled through a stethoscope connected to an amplifier. He calls himself the “Human Jukebox”.
Says the music man:
“It was a success. We were the first in the world to do this.”
