Wow! Coffins with a sound system

The idea behind Swedish company Pause Ljud & Bild's Ca†acombo Sound System sounds like a skit on a dark sketch comedy, but this is real! 

The company's CEO Fredrik Hjelmquist is an audiophile and Hi-Fi enthusiast and came up with the concept for the Ca†acombo Sound System. He owns the very first manufactured model.

Have you ever dreamed of being buried with a sound system? 
Well this is the right product for you! (If you have $32,000 to spare): 

Here's how it all works together: 

The Ca†acoffin from Ca†acomb Soundsytem features:

• Two-way front speakers

• 4-inch midbass drivers

• Wide range tweeter with external cooling

• 8-inch sub bass element

• Custom built 2.1 amplifier

• T-class stereo amplifier

• Tripath Class-T Digital Power Processing™ Technology

Not only that but you can combine it with a Ca†atomb which displays your name, the year you were born, and the year you died but most importantly the song that is currently playing in your Ca†acoffin.

But who is going to manage your playlist? Great Question! That's where Ca†aplay comes in to play (waka waka waka.) Ca†aplay is an online application that allows your friends and loved ones to manage a collaborative playlist. Here's hoping they play what you want to hear and don't torture with crappy music. But if they do, what are you going to about it? Haunt them?

As part of the product demonstration for the Ca†aplay when you go to the Ca†acombo Sound System's website you can add a song for Fredrik Hjelmquist's playlist cleverly title Pause: 4-ever that he will hear once he is buried. Well, once he dies and is buried. 

I added the classic jam, Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back"  You are welcome Mr. Hjelmquist!

But wait there is more!!!...

You have to watch their awesome promotional video with the classy girl in fancy white gloves.:

Recommendation: Jorge Drexler's geeky music App

I wrote about this awesome super nerdy app for Remezcla and I highly recommend you download it. 
 
It's available in many formats and best of all it is totally free on his website. 
 
Below is an excerpt from my Remezcla article published January 7th, 2012:
 
Recently, more artists have begun using applications in innovative ways that enables them to add features and additional depth to their songs. By using modern technology that is readily available to many of us with devices such as tablets and smartphones, it allows the artists to explore undiscovered territories that makes the listener’s experience a more personal, unique, and interactive one. Most notably was Björk’s Biophilia which was the “first app album” ever where each song had its own application that provided interactive material pertinent to the song’s title or inspiration. Now being added to this expanding roster is the Uruguayan Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter, Jorge Drexler. Music geeks and nerdy music lovers will rejoice!
 
Drexler recently teamed up with Samsung to release an application called n. The app is named “n” since in mathematics, it is the symbol for a series of natural numbers that can offer multiple solutions to an equation, and that was partly Drexler’s inspiration for this app. The app features three compositions that were specifically written for this interactive project that Drexler refers to as “aplicanciones” (application + songs).
