Okay, okay, you might be thinking that this is going to be a waste of time, but I promise it’s not.

Sam Battle is a hacker musician. That means that he takes trash and turns it into musical instruments and other weird stuff.

On his YouTube channel Look Mum No Computer, Battle has shared videos showcasing a television that is now an Etch-A-Sketch, a fidget spinner guitar synth and his latest accomplishment, a Furby organ.

You know those cute-but-almost-evil fur toys that speak? Well, he hacked together 44 of them to build the world’s first Furby organ – more from Gizmodo:

On a technical level, Battle’s Furby Organ is certainly an impressive build, requiring lots of custom software and rewiring so that each toy would respond to commands from a keyboard, and produce specific notes and vowels on-demand.

But on a horror level, the Furby Organ may never be topped. Listening to the high-pitch squeal produced by 44 of these interactive toys at the same time hits a nerve I didn’t know I had—although I admit it still doesn’t sound as awful as some saxophones.

Please enjoy Battle’s energetic enthusiasm for his project:

Told you it was great. New hero? At least for today.
