SIMPLE INTERACTIONS. SOUND ART FROM JAPAN

2011-09-14T22:31:00.004+09:00

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.

Manabu Suzuki live installation at Loop-Line recorded by toshiya tsunoda
Skiti (sk05)
USW56，USW57，USW59，USW61 and USW113,these five hand-made electronics hanged from a ceiling have a ultrasonic wave transmitter, a reciever and an amplifier. Each frequency of　the ultrasonic wave is about 40KHz but slightly different. And when each instrument swings, each frequency changes a little caused by the Doppler effect. On thier instruments we can hear beat signals between transmitted and received ultrasonic waves changed in frequency.　(manabu suzuki)Where does art work appear? How do people perceive a piece of art, and how is that experience grasped? Physically, it's possible to say that the piece is in an exhibited space. However, when the essence of the piece is a spatial experience, it would be imperfect to speak only about the appearance of the work that is placed in a certain space. I came to want to add my experience of listening to Suzuki's work to this piece as my own touch. So, I decided to use a pair of micro-mikes. During the recording, one microphone was set in the center of the exhibited space, and the other was placed inside of my left ear. I closed my ear that has the microphone within it by my hand after the condition of the space caused by the piece and the swinging of the units became nearly stable (take 1) . I consider that my own condition has been added to the piece by this action. (Toshiya Tsunoda / Translation: Makoto Oshiro)

snared 60 cuts
seijiro murayama & toshiya tsunoda
Skiti (sk 04)

One clear day in spring, the two of us, Seijiro Murayama and Toshiya Tsunoda, went out to a park on the outskirts of the city of Yokohama. It was just like a picnic, but what we carried with us was a snare drum, not a lunch basket. We settled in a wide open space in the park and took a look through the inside of the snare drum, just for fun, to see how the world looked in that peaceful spring sunlight. That day Seijiro didn't play his instrument. We placed a pair of microphone inside the snare drum and tried to catch its sound under various conditions. He loosened the drumhead, took off the rim, put a heavy stone on it, hung it from a tree branch, and even cut the drum skin with a knife …After two days of this strange picnic, we had gathered a total of 80 sound recordings. None of them includes a familiar snare drum sound. In fact, the sounds of these recordings are not generated with an ordinary 'musical' instrument, but result from the same instrument regarded merely as an object and perhaps also the act of breaking down the instrument into its physical pieces. Hopefully, still, another of our actions (the act of recording) reminded us of its nature as a musical instrument. Because of our general indifference to audio-technical details, we didn't take notes on the individual recordings. In our point of view, the differences among the takes are not important for the sake of the sound itself, or to the purpose of discerning them. On the contrary, the differences are only significant to the differences themselves. When you listen to these sounds coming to you in the stream of similarity, you'll find yourself listening to the threshold of yourself. It was just these differences that amazed us. What we offer here is not so-called 'beautiful' sounds. As for us, it is something more, chaotic, primal, and abundant.

For the purposes of this release, we adopted some word combinations like 'division and unity' or ‘whole and parts’ as initial themes, and decided to each record a form of continuous movement. MG picked up the sounds in a room full of old-fashioned domestic record players playing themselves – microgroove styli rendering their own vibrations and movements audible. TT picked up the knocking of water against a hydrophone sunk in the brook. The score for a work was derived from a certain colour-field painting of MG's. The recorded materials, as well as sections of low frequencies that deceed our range of audibility, were subsequently divided up according to this score. In this way we created a 30-minute work, which we then displayed twice, one after another, so that the total duration of this work is 60 minutes. This work was divided into nine by inserting track ID numbers. When you listen to this release, you will find one appearance of the work, or two appearances of one work, or nine appearances of works that are distinct yet continuous, or 26 appearances of distinct sections of the work, all of which are works. At any rate, you will find a different work whenever you change your aspect of observation and recognition.
