Yoyogi National Sports Stadium

SOUND INSTALLATION: 3 x 10 hour live performances over 3 days

Conceptual Architectural Installation

A 200m2 structure of recycled metal scaffolding was erected to create a spatial skeleton, a performance installation space and stage, removing the walls or “barriers” of a museum or traditional music venue. The intent of this open space installation being to invite the audience to interact and engage with the artist and the artists’ space, challenging notions of the separation between audience and artist.

The Yoyogi National Sports Stadium inspired the industrial aesthetic, highlighting the extremes of Tokyo city and life: inclusive and alienating, high-tech to the traditional, elegant and beautiful to the industrial wasteland and decay.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Connect … reflecting on the theme of the Rooms Trade Fair, there are two synergies: firstly, electronic looping and sampling, layering melodies and sound samples to create architectural sound-scapes; secondly, a personal journey to bridge eastern and western culture and art, connecting Japan and its creators and the world.”

２０１１年、RoomsのテーマはCONNECT。それは自分のクリエーション、尚かつ自分の存在に隣接する。まず、ハーモニーも不和音もサウンドスケープを構築して行き、エレクトロニックルーパー機により楽器とオブジェによりメロディーとサウンドサンプルをconnectする。それに、人として東洋と西洋の文化を調和する。橋となり日本と世界を繋ぐクリエーター
