Bound by the Sound

This is simply outstanding piano to look at. It has the looks of the classic as well as this era and is inspired from nature, yes you heard it right. A good coating of sound proof paint has been done on this marvel which makes it simply outstanding in its class or I would say it’s just a class apart. The base of the piano is aligned with the barycentre of the instrument which holds the pedals and is quite unbelievable. The M. Liminal’s shapes and colors are mutually adjusted in asymmetric designs, concurrently generating a composite and organic unit, as one would see in nature, quite an amazing stuff. Its profile looks like a tidal wave and silver embodiment gives the look of water. Its a dream come true for every piano player and a piano lover too...

The Bacterial Orchestra is a self-organizing evolutionary musical organism that is developed from audio cells.

The musical cells in turn have their own loudspeaker and a microphone. The best thing about the orchestra is that it can react to its surroundings and adapt to them. This means that it hears its surroundings and then sync with what it hears and plays accordingly.

Each cell has some unique features that can be compared to DNA of a human body. If there is any problem with a cell it dies and is reborn again with a new DNA.

The result of this amazing technology is a completely living orchestra that adapts to its surroundings and becomes smarter with use.

The orchestra is developed by Olle Corneer, Christian Hörgren and Martin Lubcke.

Sound quality of the Vex is as good as company’s standard guitars, but the only missing thing is their custom wood-grained styling.

The company exhibited Responsible Sound at the CES 2007. The system is based on an
new environmentally friendly loudspeaker technology that uses recyclable, replenishable and biodegradable materials for the purpose of loudspeaker enclosures, components and finishes.

The company is working with material experts from around the world to discover such material that are rigid enough to provide these speakers with significant sonic benefits and can be easily molded to wide range of designs.

This is a good effort to make use of green materials that will raise the awareness amongst the people. I guess this is another field that has started to pay attention towards preserving environment after the automobile industry.
