Composer/artist Neil Lack (London) and artist/sound designer Masamitsu Araki (Kyoto) share a commonality in their humorous explorations of the “creativity of listening” and the “boundaries between sound and music,” creating site-specific performances that incorporate the characteristics of the place.
For this performance, the two artists will stay and create their work in the Takenohama district, located in the San’in Kaigan National Park and historically prosperous as a port of call for Kitamae ships, and will create a wandering sound performance in collaboration with local residents and students who have been recruited through public entries.
Using the unique sounds that abound in the region, from the natural sounds of the sea and mountains to the sounds of everyday life, they will create an environment in which the audience can rediscover the act of “listening.”
After checking in at Kitamae Hall, audience members will wander freely around the town with a map in hand, experiencing a one-of-a-kind “sound environment” created together by the town of Takeno, the artists, and the participants.
Stop along the way, take your time, and listen to the sounds of the town.

- Masamitsu Araki
Artist, musician, sound designer. Born 1981 in Yamagata, Japan. Lives and works in Kyoto.
While music is the subject of his activities, he takes standing on its periphery as a starting point, humorously pursuing the creativity of listening and re-connecting it with music to encourage a reconsideration of context and utility. The soundscape constructed through their unique interpretation and process utilizes sound, video, voice, site-specific elements and environments, and is presented in a wide variety of forms, including theater pieces, installations, performances, tours, and sound sources, but in general, they aim to drift along the boundaries of “sound-music” by breaking down the totality of sound surrounding us from a familiar perspective The aim is to drift along the boundary of “sound-music” that can be seen by observing the totality of sound that surrounds us from a familiar point of view.
Araki is also active as a member of NEW MANUKE, a music group.WEB：https://masamitsuaraki.format.com
