Giant handmade xylophone plays Bach in the depths of a serene Japanese forest

29 January 2021, 15:40

A tranquil Japanese woodland and one of Bach's most gorgeous melodies.

A few years ago, Japanese telecommunication company Docomo created one of the most beautiful adverts we’ve ever seen.

Director Morihiro Harano and sound artist Kenjiro Matsuo built a natural instrument in the middle of a lush forest.

Their creation featured hundreds of different-sized pieces of wood, each sounding an individual note when struck. A wooden ball then cascades down the structure, hitting every resonant note of a Bach masterpiece.
