Barcorder / The Barcoders (from “ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!“)[Performance]
 
バーコードリーダーのスキャン信号をレジではなく音声端子に接続することで音を鳴らす。通常、値段情報に置き換わる電気信号がそのまま音になる。
昼はバイトでレジ係、夜はクラブでバーコーディスト。これはレジ係のネクスト・レベルだ!
A player makes sounds by connecting the scanned-signal of a barcode scanner to a powered speaker directly, not a cash register. 
Every striped pattern becomes sounds by sending the electric signals generated by the reflection of laser to a speaker.
During the day, you are a regular cashier. During the night, you are a Barcodist. This is the next level of cashier!
