At Ginza Sony Park (Ginza Sony Park), the spread of the new coronavirus COVID-19 has caused changes in people's values and the world, and movement has been restricted. We are making various efforts to explore new possibilities. On the basement floor of Ginza Sony Park, the background sound work " Silence Park curated by Shuta Hasunuma" was created using environmental sounds from around the world as a material to express the atmosphere of this era from the perspective of artists around the world. Is newly published.
In addition, we also started another initiative, "BULLETIN CUBES", a message board for people, things, and things that we "want to deliver" from artists.
"Silence Park" is a new background sound of Ginza Sony Park, created by musicians Shuta Hasunuma and artists from all over the world, using sounds collected from cities and nature in various places. This environmental sound work was created based on the concept of "public", and while various forms of artists continue to change their shape, it will be held continuously until September 2021 when Ginza Sony Park closes.
From Monday, September 7, 2020, Spanish musician Francisco López (Francisco Lopez), German electro musician Jan Jelinek (Jan Jelinek), and Shuta Hasunuma will play works in the park. I will. On the special site, you can see the "reciprocal letter" that shows the interaction between Shuta Hasunuma and each artist, as well as a description of each work.
Now that travel and movement are limited, I hope you will listen to the sound of the environment that is not in front of you and feel the world.
