CataCombo Sound System

Description

A sound system designed to play music inside a buried coffin. Speakers embedded in the coffin lid (underground) connect to a computer server embedded in the gravestone (above ground), which displays the song that is currently playing on a small screen. A QR code on the gravestone connects to an online app that controls the playlist, using the streaming music service Spotify. The company's website has been defunct since 2015.
