Man in a Chicken suit plays "What is Love" on Pianica

Man in a Chicken suit plays "What is Love" on Pianica from Ring Mod on Vimeo.

OK, no synth. Making an exception on this one... It should probably go on Sparkle Train.
"I was in Melbourne for Game Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP) 09, and I found this busker standing outside Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. He was playing the hit 90's track "What Is Love" on bass guitar, Pianica, with the assistance of a loop pedal. What is remarkable (evidently) is that he did the entire thing wearing a chicken suit. The real action in this video starts at around 1:20, when he gets DOWN with the improv action on the Pianica. Enjoy."

EMS SYNTHI HIFLI GUITAR SYNTHESIZER EFFECTS PROCESSOR

images via this auction

"The Hi Fli (aka The Sound Freak) was designed by David Cockerell in 1971 for EMS. He later went on to design many of the classic Electro Harmonix effects (both the Micro Synth and Small Stone phaser are inspired by the Hi Fli). Only 350 were made making it a collector’s gem. David bought a prototype in 1972 and from what he recalls it was “very, very expensive”.

The Hi Fli was actually referred to as a synthesizer in the original ad, but it’s basically an analog multi effect processor, which can be used on vocals, guitars and organs. It has two footpedals, which could be routed as control voltages/expression pedal to any of the slider functions. It’s got no memory to bank up settings, - everything is in real time, so one had to manually tweak the sliders for each tone change.

Features; top boost (30dB treble booster), octave shifter (1 drop), buzz (treble booster to octave effect), ring modulator, sustain fuzz, solo/strum sensitivity control, bypass, modulation selector (rotary, phaser, vibrato and different types of auto-wah).

David is seen using the Hi Fli at Earl’s Court in May 1973. It was also used on the Dark Side of the Moon recording sessions. It’s not reported which songs he used it on, but it might have been for creating auto wah effects on Any Colour You Like and fuzz on live versions of Time.

The Hi Fli is still in David’s possession and last seen at the Interstellar Exhibition in Paris in 2004."

"The TG55 Synthesizer, made by Top Gear England. More of a processer similar to the Synthi Hi Fi, but more powerful. Sporting 4 tracking oscilators, insanely good fuzz and a matrix of processing loops. 24 Chicken head knobs!"

Brainless Barnyard Keyboards: The Short Saga of Royal Quiet Deluxe, Chicken Band

"The keyboard players in my band were spacier than Sun Ra, more abstract than John Coltrane and brought more sheer, squalid anarchy to the stage than GG Allin and the Sex Pistols combined. When they weren’t playing music they were either feeding, fighting, or shitting on the floor – and they managed to do a lot of that onstage, too. But they didn’t just act like barnyard animals, they were barnyard animals: the keyboard players in my band were two chickens named Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline."
