Pocket Symphony is the fourth studio album by Frenchelectronic music duoAir, released on 5 March 2007 byVirgin Records. It features collaborations withJarvis Cocker andNeil Hannon.[12]Pocket Symphony incorporates some of the Japanese instruments Godin had recently learned to play from anOkinawan master musician: thekoto (also referred to as a Japanese floor harp) and the three-string, banjo-likeshamisen. However, a press release claims that "conventional instruments continue to play a great role" in the duo's music.[13] The album features art byXavier Veilhan.

Pocket Symphony debuted at number 40 on the USBillboard 200, with 17,000 copies sold in its first week.[14] As of February 2012, it had sold 77,000 copies in the United States.[15]

The term "pocket symphony" was popularised by English journalistDerek Taylor, who used it to describethe Beach Boys' 1966 single "Good Vibrations".
