The Cockroach Beatbox – Greg Gage (by TEDEducation)

This video was shown at TEDxUtrecht and then I got to see Gage do the same thing again live at TEDxBrussels a few days later.

What I find most interesting here is that Gage has turned the image of a cockroach with one leg missing—something many people find discomforting—into a kind of mascot.

More work by Gage that involves animals: playing music through a squid and a DIY remote control roach.
