Otomo Yoshihide＋Tadasu Takamine + many musicians

Session B / Studio A

This exhibit is a sound installation created in collaboration with Tadasu Takamine, an artist of contemporary art, in which waste wood and beams of light are used. In the space of Studio A are all kinds of waste wood, objects, and speakers of various kinds. Placed in the center is an equipment that reflects light on them with mirrors, and the beams of light fly about in the space. Sounds are emitted from the objects searched by the beams, and while each part resonates, visitors can experience the sound of a compound orchestra. There is an installation that contains many electric guitars on the bottom of the semi-basement, and the feedbacks by the guitars are sometimes heard from there. Visitors can go down to that basement and walk about. In the recording of the sound sources, about a hundred people ranging from professional musicians of different genres to local amateur players participated and performed solos. Visitors can enjoy listening to this orchestration in which various sounds get entwined at random from different speakers hanging in space.
