Crowd cloud
"Crowd Cloud" is voice-based sound art installation welcoming visitors to Haneda Airport. Yuri Suzuki has collaborated with musical artist and composer Miyu Hosoi to create this long-term installation.
"... In their concept, if different tongues can be walls between people, sound an instead build bridges by providing a soft landing, especially for visitors coming from foreign countries, making them comfortable and gradually conversant with the new environment. Keeping the human voice at the core of their proposal, Hosoi and Suzuki distilled the sounds of the Japanese language, distilled “Hiragana*” sounds, which consist of 46 base characters with 5 singular vowels, 40 consonant-vowel unions and 1 singular consonant, and created a unique composition in which the sound emanates from a choir of dozens of standing horns, that are conversing with each other like people waiting for friends and relatives in the Arrival Hall of an airport." Paola ANTONELLI, Curator
*Hiragana is the basic Japanese phonetic script. It represents every sound in the Japanese language.

World’s biggest loudspeaker
The "World’s biggest loudspeaker", even if you whisper you can be heard a mile away.
The world’s biggest loudspeaker is on view at the 7th Audio Fair now in progress in Tokyo.
It measures 15 feet square, and is 35 feet long.
Made of wood it can be transported by truck to large field meetings, or to address vast audiences gathered in the open air. Even a whisper can be heard a mile away.
If it was placed on the cliffs of Dover the speakers voice could be heard in Calais in France a distance of over 20 miles.
Photo shows the outside loudspeaker which has been nicked named ”My Mother-in-Law” by Tokyo wags.
