Business Overview

The second film in the "Multus" series supervised by artist and musician Mukaiyama Tomoko. In addition to Mukaiyama, Gerard Bauhaus, a specialist in contemporary music, will be invited from the Netherlands, and Shinji Urakabe and Yusuke Sato, who are talented young Japanese musicians, will be added. A total of four people will perform a four-hand duet piano concert. This work combines dancing and undulating music with a video installation that surrounds the audience. The film is a re-edited version of a monochrome silent film and documentary from the 1960s owned by the EYE Film Institute Netherlands. The timescale of the video, re-edited after nearly 100 years, intersects with the dynamism of the music. This concert pursues a new way of listening to music and a new musical space.
