Business Overview

Produced and performed three co-productions on the theme of "voice." In addition, the exhibition was enhanced to visualize the collaborative process with a sense of presence, including sketches, video records, and screenshots of communication. The performance consisted of two parts (one hour each), and in the first part, the co-written works, “Jikkyo ” (for the playwright, commentator, recorder, and four pantomimers),“ Mori [mata] ” (for the ukulele, guitar, and two voices), and <<Eat up, every last bit.>> (for the trumpet, clarinet, craft, and small instruments, and four voices), were performed. In the second part, an exhibition tour and a talk session were held by the participating composers. In addition to the participating composers Oguri Maika, Yamada Nanao, Henan Fontys, and ruki Kojima, performers and staff members who are themselves composers and artists, such as Nakamura Michiru and Iganami Koka, participated in the event, making it a time to take a rich look at "co-creation."

Profile

[Co-written Project O]
With composers Maika Oguri and Nanao Yamada at the center, they are working with the concept of "aiming for a future where composers can easily join hands". The group is reconsidering the process of composing music (mainly contemporary music), which is often thought of as an individual work, and is providing a place to bring out rich creativity through collaborative writing, while exploring possibilities for collaboration and collaboration among composers. It conveys not only the results but also the charms of the lively journey of composers to create music.
