Spinning and playing the plum
Business Overview
A series of three concerts held at a nationally registered tangible cultural property in Ome City, Tokyo. The purpose of the exhibition is to experience the historical buildings and their surrounding natural environment (soundscape) with the "human scale" sound of old musical instruments and vocal music.
The three performers are Duo Rurie(Asami Orihara, Takayuki Kanai), Yuruako (Hasegawa Saaya, Kanai Takayuki), guests Ryohei Takahashi, Tengen Inuma and the music group incontro(Daisuke Abe, Yasunori Nakamura, Takayuki Kanai). The program consisted of a wide range of music from 16 ~ 18 century Western ancient music, modern Japanese songs, movie music, and folk songs such as "Ome Baisori Uta" which originated from the region.
At the venue, a site-specific music experience was attempted by introducing a stage performance that incorporated changes in the light at dusk and a walking installation in which the audience walked around the hall with the musicians. Based on extensive research and cooperation with relevant organizations in the city, a unique artistic activity was developed to visualize the historical context of the area through sound.
