My jaw dropped for a full 3 minutes when I saw this film featuring Bach’s Cantata 147, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” on a wooden xylophone. It's so beautiful that it's hard to believe it's an advertisement for a Sharp Touch Wood SH-08C phone. So to give myself peace of mind, I prefer to think of this as a gorgeous art installation that happened to have been funded by a company. (Also, at least the phone is made of surplus wood derived from thinning trees for forest health.) The work was designed by Invisible Designs Lab and built by Kenjiro Matsuo. See a clip about the making of the project here and see the full piece below.
