A collaboration between the Royal College of Art, KORG and OK Go to create new musical instruments. KORG products provided a starting point for objects designed to be visually engaging in performance as well as playable.

Students and tutors from RCA Design Products’ Platform 21 combined physical computing and design, with participation from OK Go’s Damian Kulash. The brief included performing “Another Set of Issues” with the resulting instruments.

Sakamaki contributed through KORG Japan and is listed in the production credits on Yuri Suzuki’s official project page.
