Working with creative director David Eveleigh-Evans, the team created a dynamic animation on a huge LED screen that could visualize the sound coming from the speakers and reflect in motion what the speakers do in product design.ĭigital luxury: check out the LEDs and the extraordinary form of the aluminum. So Muon creators employed London’s responsive media firm Moving Brands, who in turn brought in two of our favorite people - responsive media guru Chris O’Shea (see his blog Pixelsumo, and artist and Processing ninja Toxi (aka Karsten Schmidt). Part of the beauty of digital media is that they can make the invisible and the impossible visible in a dynamic way. Liquid-y Visualization: And that’s just the speakers. I haven’t heard them, but we’ve already discussed (at a radically lower price point) why speakers really don’t have to be - or even shouldn’t be - rectangular. The speakers themselves are formed out of single, 6-foot pieces of metal, into an acoustically-conceived, flowing form. The process does for metal something like what vacuum forming does for plastic: you heat sheets of aluminum so they can be molded into unique forms. Designed by UK speaker research center KEF Audio and Ross Lovegrove, a champion of organic, 21st Century design and one of the most respected designers on the planet, the key to the design is super-formed aluminum. Liquid-y Speakers: The speakers themselves were beautiful enough. Was a bit busy with Maker Faire!)ĭetails on the installation and how it was done: (Yeah, CDM’s motto is: cover things last.
