It is thought that double-speed playback on video streaming sites and the emergence of so-called shorts on social media etc. in recent years will likely have a major impact on the future of music.
This concert featured performances of new pieces commissioned from living composers (Nozomu Kaneda, Masamichi Kinoshita, Tatsuro Nakajima, Yuya Haryu, and Daiko Fujikawa), comprising four new pieces for flute and electronics and one revised premiere piece for flute and soprano. The flutist was Seira Murakami, and the soprano was Saho Toyotani.
