This amazing kinetic art in Japan’s woodlands of Kyushu is a commercial for- well, you’ll see... but suffice to say it is amazing and you’ll want to watch it twice and if your monkeys are anything like mine- maybe thrice.
Done by Drill Inc, a Japanese advertising agency it features a wooden ball going down a marimba. The sound that you hear is not superimposed but rather naturally produced.
I love that the product is made from only discarded wood, I love that the beauty of the forest is enhanced with the natural marimba and I love the melody of Bach’s Cantata 147: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.
The instrument was made by Kenjiro Matsuo at Invisible Design Lab.
Dare you to watch it once!

Brilliant! And so gorgeous. One of my favorites melodies.
Off to watch, and listen again.
I can't imagine how long it took for someone to pull this off. Amazing. Where do you find this stuff?
Genius! I am so impressed with the precision and planning that must have gone into designing that instrument!
It has been a long time since I had watched such an outstanding commercial before!
Your right, I watched three times and then shared it with others.
Brilliant commercial. How many times before you tire of seeing it?

Amazing. I've watched three times now and I know that when I show it to "O" he will want to build one. This is just phenomenal in it's concept and execution.
Simply amazing, one of my most favorite melodies.
