4. Sequential release during Long Term Grant period: Repertoire Database project
   Video recordings of 31 works performed onstage from the ensemble’s founding in 2012 through 2016 have been made available on the group’s website. This archive provides a source of reference for overseas concerns as well as those in Japan, serving as guidance on pieces which Tokyo Gen’ On Project commissioned from Japanese composers, as well as guidance on special playing techniques that are difficult to decipher from the score alone.

Tokyo Gen’On Project
Formed as an ensemble in 2012 by leading musicians in the area of contemporary music. The ensemble offers a novel performer’s eye perspective, with programs that focus on pieces which have never been played in Japan before, commissions of unique ensemble combinations/arrangements, and workshops for young musicians, composers and production staff members. Currently comprises the five members of Sumihisa Arima (electronics), Masanori Oishi (saxophone), Yoshiko Kanda (percussion), Aki Kuroda (piano), and Shinya Hashimoto (tuba). Tokyo Gen’On Project won the 13th Keizo Saji Prize for 2013.
