Business Overview
The music of Yumemakura includes new songs, old songs and a fusion of various styles. There is a lingering flavor in music that has been passed down through many cultures over a long period of time. This time, under the theme of "the language and sound of different cultures," she will compose and arrange music that will make you feel the differences in music and culture that arise from the differences in language. By listening to the differences in sounds from various ethnic groups and cultures, it is possible to provide listeners with the experience of retracing their roots and discovering a different way of listening to sounds and music.

Profile
[Yumemakura]
Yumemakura was established in 2015 in cooperation with Akiichi Nakamura, a shakuhachi player who was also influenced by Jung's ideas, to read a libretto composed by Ayuo and to perform the work for music, "The Dream Diary of Carl Jung." Music created by Ayuo, a musician who has always lived in an environment where multiple ethnic groups, cultures, customs and languages intermingle, will be performed by voice, Japanese traditional instruments, Asian percussion instruments and an ensemble of Western instruments. This is a group of musicians who are familiar with the music of various styles and ethnicities, who fully demonstrate their technique, harmonize the music of different cultures and the sound of instruments, and create and transmit new music that can be said to be truly multicultural and multi-ethnic.
