Yamaha and Yuri Suzuki presents: Industrial Instruments
Join Yamaha and Yuri Suzuki for an evening of performance and talks exploring the use of everyday objects, sounds, and interactions.
Enjoy a live performance curated by Yamaha and a talk with Yuri Suzuki.
What if humans hadn’t designed musical instruments and all we had was industrial products and objects to create sound?
This event stems from an ongoing research project between Yuri Suzuki and Yamaha combines exploring how everyday objects can be used as musical instruments.
In this event, Suzuki and Yamaha re-imagine pens, switches, and combs as musical tools to create new sounds and interactions.
