Munich.Dumb TypeHe directed the installation "Playback" for the exhibition坂本龍一。
The idea was to collect field recordings from 16 regions around the world and play them back to give a bird's eye view of the "location" and "time" of each place, as well as the "unique sounds" captured by the contributors. These 16 sound sources are坂本龍一The 17 recordings will be compiled by adding "Tokyo 2021," a previously unreleased sound source by Box The "Tokyo 2021" is a compilation of 17 recordings.
On the B-side, a map of each region is created by using AUTORA FACTORY PLATE's original technique to convert the shading of the picture into sound data by replacing it with the intensity of the sound, and the map rises up on the transparent disc to form a circular world map with each city in the center. The map of each region floats on the transparent board and is cut in a special way to form a circular world map centered on each city.
