In order to tell you its image sensors are refined using pure water, Sony creates a piece where Pachelbel's Canon is played entirely by drops of water. October 21, 2013 3:28 PM PDT Liquid tunes.

Sony, however, feels that the natural world speaks beauty and even plays it. So it's created a spectacularly peculiar ad in which the music is all played not by ear but by water. The tune is Pachelbel's Canon, so often heard at weddings and in the brilliant Robert Redford movie "Ordinary People." The images are very beautiful, but the music is the true point of the sale.
