Yuzu wagashi. Minamoto Kitcho-an, Torrance. April 2006.

Gin and tonic with lime and blueberries. July 2010.

courtney:

Tuned Pale Ale is a product that explores the musical affordances in everyday objects and promotes social spontaneity. While drinking beer, people become musically encouraged and often start making music with objects around them. This product aims to promote more of this type of social interaction. This product aims to inform users about the musical qualities of existing bottles and to make the bottle a better instrument.

The label indicates what notes can be played when the beer reaches certain levels by blowing across the top of the bottle. Cool!

Not pictured, but click through to see:

• The box/holder as an instrument
• Ridges added to the side of the bottle that can be played with the cap

I’m afraid the last post concludes our Italian food picspam (boooo). Thanks for watching!
