Sumihisa Arima returns for a concert in the Musician’s Selection series featuring programming by project members.
As a leading figure in electronics in Japanese contemporary music, this was Arima’s attempt to trace the history of Japanese electronic music specializing in live offerings.
Arima has also published a booklet co-edited with Koji Kawasaki, a leading expert in Japanese electronic music, as a complement to musical pieces he was unable to cover in the concert. Furthermore, this event was a valuable opportunity to establish the position of the electronic music field in music history with a complex approach that included a talk event centering around Arima and Kawasaki, and featuring Mamoru Fujieda as a guest.
