These Hi-Fi Speakers Are Made out of Rocket Fuel Tanks

SMRTR summary

Innovative Debris speakers combine space technology and audio artistry by repurposing rocket fuel tanks from Japan's Taiki space hub. Created by &Space Project and Noon by Material Record, these cylindrical speakers use upward-facing drivers and spherical deflectors made from space-related materials for omnidirectional sound. The project includes a special composition by DJ Gonno featuring Taiki's environmental sounds. This initiative aims to revitalize Japan's space industry while merging space technology with cultural expression.
