What we do

emancipation ∞ Vol.3

  • Organization : Takumi Nakanowatari
  • Section : Artistic and creative activity in Tokyo
  • Type of Grant Program : Single Individual
  • Art Forms : Music

Outline

In the pursuit of self-expression through improvisation, this time we will hold a live performance and record the performance for the purpose of packaging it as a single work. A session will also be held after the live performance to provide an opportunity to deepen exchanges through music with the audience, and to connect with each other to make new discoveries and form personal connections.
After the project period, the recordings and videos will be widely released as promotional materials on the Internet (free of charge on SNS and video distribution sites, etc.) to raise awareness of the project’s future activities.
