Two Yamahas, One Passion is a joint activity by Yamaha and Yamaha Motor, two companies that share the same "Yamaha" brand but are different from each other, with the aim of proposing their own methods and ways of thinking on the common theme of design.
This time, we created an art object that plays with air based on the theme of Untitled Instrument.
The principle of sound is the phenomenon of waves, in which the vibration of matter is transmitted through the medium of air. By controlling the flow of air, a pleasant musical scale can be produced. On the other hand, an engine driving force of a motorcycle can be described as air compression.
The same air is the driving force, but depending on how it is converted into energy, it produces completely different results. If air is converted into material vibration energy, it becomes a tool that produces sound like a musical instrument, and if it is converted into propulsive energy, it becomes a tool like a vehicle. Although the same source, air, is used, the role of the tool changes drastically depending on how it is utilized and thus a single object shows the origin of both Yamaha companies, which were originally one.
By controlling the flow of air, it becomes a tool that plays completely different roles, such as making sound and moving forward, encouraging a free play style that is not limited to one or the other.
This work is a concept work and will not be commercialized.
