O KOKOS TIS ANIXIS (2CD)

"This is one of my trials to present a 'subject' as a piece of work - which can be called field recordings - that contains the accidentalness. We cannot manipulate the accidentalness. The only way for us to relate to the events is to closely observe what is happening there. "
 disc 1:

1. the sounds of small fruits falling in the grass as the wind shook the tree.

2. the sequence of the chirp sounds of a bush warbler.

3. the various events happening in the temple precincts in the mountain.

4. the echoed sounds in a vacant lot as the night fell gradually.

disc 2:

1. the sounds of three branches falling down on a tin roof of a small roadside shrine.

2. the high-pitched sounds that occurred momentarily when the tree branches rustled as the wind shook the tree.

3. the sounds happening in a pond and its surroundings.

4. the sounds of ashes bursting in the fire built by fishermen.

The Temple Recording (2CD set)

"This recording reveals the experiences of the landscape shared by two different persons. We can consider that the landscape was composed when we were facing it. This is a record and evidence of our real experiences of the landscape. Our experiences were realized. In short, we gave a shape to the landscape with our experiences."

SIMPLE INTERACTIONS. SOUND ART FROM JAPAN

24/09/2011 - 18/12/2011

Sound art is a blossoming art form in Denmark, and the influence of the Japanese sound art scene is significant. On the whole, sound is a global target area, where Japan has asserted itself strongly both in art, design and industry. Therefore, the Museum of Contemporary Art has invited to our country a group of Japanese sound artists to contribute to the exhibition Simple Interactions. Sound Art from Japan, which will be the largest overall presentation in Denmark of sound art from Japan up to now.

The exhibition Simple Interactions. Sound Art from Japan presents works by 9 Japanese artists and artists groups. The exhibition mixes installations, performances and documentations, all of which examine how simple interactions can create complex systems and patterns.

Works and performances by the following artists:

Yuji DOGANE - Yukio FUJIMOTO - Atsuhiro ITO - Soichiro MIHARA + Hiroko MUGIBAYASHI + Kazuki SAITA - Atsushi NISHIJIMA - Jio SHIMIZU - Toshiya TSUNODA - Tetsuya UMEDA - Miki YUI

The past decade has been characterized by a rise of sound art as an artistic discipline that is about to establish its own traditions within the framework of contemporary art. Japanese artists like Ryoji Ikeda, Yukio Fujimoto, Akio Suzuki, Omoto Yoshihide, Merzbow and Ryuichi Sakamoto have been essential for the development of this artistic discipline. But where is the Japanese sound art today? The purpose of this exhibition is to present a Danish audience for an updated picture of the lively Japanese sound art scene.

The sound art discipline received strong international exposure with exhibitions like Sound Art – Sound as Media at the NTT ICC in Tokyo 2000, Sonic Boom – The Art of Sound at the Hayward Gallery in London 2000 and Sounding Spaces – 9 Sound Installations at the NTT ICC in Tokyo 2003. Also at the Museum of Contemporary Art there has been a special focus on sound art over the years, including the exhibition series SoundImages 1991-2004, where two Japanese artists, Akio Suzuki and Junko Wada have been represented. But there have not been previous group exhibitions with Japanese sound artists in Danmark.
