Tokyo Project Study 3: Music For A Space

Genre:
  • Art Project ,
  • Lecture / Symposium

Music from Tokyo

Since the 2010s, the environment surrounding music and the structure of the music industry have faced a major turning point. At the same time, various explorations have begun which go beyond existing musical experiences and listening environments. In recent years, art projects in public spaces have made attempts to extend the possibilities of music by taking it to the streets. In an age when we no longer require physical music, what music mediums have yet to be seen? What hybrid approaches are there for pop music and public sound? What is the ability, unique to musicians, of expressing society in sounds/music? Hosted by Ryoichi Kiyomiya, who divides his time between the music business and art projects, this program will explore the criteria for defining music’s current position through discussions with experts and artists at the front lines of the music scene, and attempt to create a template for music with a different mechanism than before.
