I'm working on a circular harp.
It projects a video onto the disc with
a short-focus projector.
Musical scores and graphics that
change in response to the sound can be
projected.
円形のハープを制作中です。
短焦点プロジェクターでディスクに動画を投影します。(数１０センチの距離でけっこうな大きさの画像が投影できます。)
楽譜や音に反応すして変化するグラフィックが投影可能です。
組み立ててみて、透明のパイプがプロジェクタの光線と干渉することが分かりました。
プロジェクタの位置を変更しなければならないため、周辺部分は作り直しになります。
こういうのって実際に組み立ててみないと気づかないことが多いんだよなぁ。。。

I'm tempted to put flour inside and
let a person stand in front to be
surprised.

Paper Robots
Paper robots that open and close their
mouth with the wind of a hair dryer.
Eyeball stickers with eyelashes are
attached to the bowls.
It seems interesting to put confetti
or dry ice inside and spout it.
You can make one for less than $ 1.
This is a video that introduces the
Robot Band and the Tatami Band in
Japan.
There are many cutting-edge
technologies in Japan, but on the
other hand, many traditional ones
remain.
The same can be said for music.
What is going to be talked about is
the story of two manufacturing
experts, Tetsuji who develops robots
as Mr. Geek and Kazuhiro who makes
Tatami, a traditional Japanese rug as
Mr. Craftsman.
Tatami is a traditional flooring
material made of grass used in
Japanese homes.
The tatami band led by Mr. Craftsman
plays original songs on instruments
made with Tatami.
The instruments of the tatami band are
decorated with tatami mats that were
produced by Mr. Craftsman.
The Tatami band perform at local
festivals and events for children and
the elderly.
In addition to musical instruments
used in popular music such as guitars,
basses, and drums, there are also
traditional Japanese musical
instruments such as shamisen, biwa,
sho, and ryuteki.
Mr. Geek invented new musical
instruments regardless of acoustic or
electronic, which led him to join the
tatami band and play.
He played musical instruments that he
devised as a member of a tatami band.
However, the drummer was so busy that
he often didn't appear on stage.
So Mr. Geek came up with the idea of
creating a robot that plays drums.
The robot was named "Ko-san-kun" in
the sense that the drum player
"Woo-san-kun" became smaller.
After a while, Mr. Geek created the
second robot for backup.
Then the two robots participated in
various events, playing metallophones
and drums, making soap bubbles, and
having children experience operating
in a flag-raising game.
At an event, a little girl looking at
two robots asked, "Why aren't there
any girl robots?"
With such a story Mr. Geek decided to
make a red robot "Miss Tomato" and let
her sing a song by voice synthesis.
After that, two more robots were added
as robots of a size that can be easily
carried to a party.
They were named "Chibi-san-kun", that
means smaller and "Mame-san-kun" that
means smallest , respectively.
The five robots form a band and then
perform activities independent of the
tatami band.
The robot band plays nursery rhymes
that children in any country know,
such as twinkle twinkle little stars
and the London Bridge.
There is no need for difficult
explanations about robots.
The music they play can be enjoyed by
children from countries with different
languages.
In the tatami band, tradition and the
latest technology are fused .
Mr. Craftsman has been tataminized
various things other than musical
instruments.
And some tatami musical instruments
include traditional Japanese musical
instruments, which are rare in the
world.
The tatami band has been performing
all over Japan including world
heritage sites.
They hold many workshops for children
to make mini tatami mats at domestic
events in Japan.
The tatami band has been invited by
government agencies in South Korea,
Taiwan, and Malaysia to perform
locally and hold workshops by Mr.
Craftsmen.
Similarly, the robot band has been
performing in the United States,
China, Indonesia, India, Malaysia,and
Singapore, inviteted by advanced
technology companies,
education-related organizations, and
universities.
What Mr. Geek and Mr. Craftsman have
in common is that manufacturing and
music that accompany creativity give
children dreams around the world.
That concludes the story.
Why don't you all go out into the
world with creativity and music?

Milk boy comedy
In Japan, comedy styles that repeat
denial and affirmation are getting
popular.
I tried to imitate that style.
I don't know if it's interesting...
