KANKYO DOT at dublab University Park studios

近年、世界的に再評価されている日本の環境音楽。このシーンを牽引してきたアーティスト・尾島由郎氏とdublab.jpが共同開発したサウンドインスタレーション「KANKYO DOT」をロサンゼルスdublabで初展示。TAGUCHI製の無指向性スピーカーと半永久的に新しい音楽を構築するシステム「AISO」をベースに開発し、尾島由郎氏がVisible Cloaks、柴野さつき氏と共作した「serenitatem」(RVNG Intl.) 収録の楽曲「Lapis Lazuli」 を分解、再構築し続けることで新しいサウンドを創り出す。環境音楽の世界に没入する新しいリスニング体験を提供します。

In recent years, Japanese ambient music (Kankyō Ongaku) has gained renewed popularity around the world. This is the first exhibition of the “KANKYO DOT” sound installation developed jointly by Yoshio Ojima, an artist who has been at the forefront of the scene since the 1980s, and dublab.jp.
It was developed based on TAGUCHI omnidirectional speakers and the “AISO” system that semi-perpetually constructs new music. By continuously disassembling and reconstructing the song Lapis Lazuli from the album serenitatem (RVNG Intl.), produced in cooperation by Yoshio Ojima, Visible Cloaks, and Satsuki Shibano, it creates a sound that is complex and novel.
It provides a new listening experience that gives new life to Kankyō Ongaku.
