You've Never Heard Bach Played Quite Like This Before And Believe Me, It's Incredible
Deep in the woods of Kyushu, Japan, a film crew built a giant xylophone stretching down a steady slope in order to create musical mastery. Their song of choice? Johann Sebastian Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Familiar with it? If not, listen here beforehand to know just how amazing the engineering and musical understanding is, as displayed by these bright minds.
First you need to understand how they built this xylophone to recreate the music of classical composer Bach. This behind-the-scenes look allows you to see how they made their vision a reality.
Now, finally for the music: here's how the whole thing gets started. The ball is placed atop the xylophone and the momentum does the rest of the musical work from there.
The ball slowly makes it's way down the sloped xylophone and the timing of the rendered music is exactly inline with what Bach originally composed. Pretty impressive, right?
The actual song begins at the 45 second mark, but the build up is an interesting look into their process.
Okay, so, this admittedly beautiful piece of music and art is revealed to have been a commercial for the Touch Wood SH-08C in the end, which you can find out more about here. You may as well go learn exactly what the Touch Wood SH-08C has to offer, since you've just spent this much time with its advertising and brand.
