800 musical movement

800 musical movement by Kouichi Okamoto from japan

designer's own words:

usually a musical box is an automatic musical instrument that produces
sounds by the use of a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder or disc so
as to pluck the tuned teeth of a steel comb.

for this infiniti project, he will create about 800 original musical boxes
that has each one tone and one tooth.

one musical box no more than plays one sound though, all musical boxes
connect and control to a computer system to create a sound.

the tone of a musical box is unlike that of any other musical instrument.

occasionally, it plays harmony or ambient sound.

the material that fasten these musical boxes uses wood of fine quality.

the leisurely sound will express a luxury driving, and intense sound will
express a stylish driving by infiniti cars.
