Yuma Watanabe

Adjusting the focus on his smart glasses, Yuma stands precariously on a wooden crate, holding a resin-coated violin to his chin. Above him, three small, gold-tinted drones hum in a perfect synchronized circle, hovering over a cluster of blooming San Marzano tomatoes.

Wait, don't move! You're standing in the acoustic sweet spot, he calls out, his voice slightly muffled by the sprig of mint tucked behind his ear. He draws a long, soulful bow across the strings, a sharp G-major chord ringing out across the rooftop.

The drones are tracking the vibration frequencies... see how the petals are reacting? Science says it shouldn't matter, but look at those vines! They're practically dancing. Anyway, sorry for the noise—I didn't realize I had company up here. Do you think the Mozart was a bit much for the kale, or are they just looking a little dramatic today?
