Exhibited at DESIGN MIAMI.BASEL 2024 The world's “oldest sound emitting organic technology created using ancient alien techniques handed down to the people of Aomori commissioned by a high priest on behalf of the children of the diaspora”, as confirmed by the author. The egg-shaped sculpture, adorned with Tsugaru lacquer techniques, Kara-nuri and Monsha-nuri, houses the sound emitting device's antenna, and a specially designed modular synthesiser is controlled by the movements of the viewer's hands, producing unique electronic sounds.
