Nick Luscombe's Japan Winter
Nick is in freezing Hokkaido with sound artist Makoto Nomura and traditional and experimental musicians, all using the frozen wilderness as a musical instrument and sound source.
Following on from Nick鈥檚 Japanese springtime soundscape from Tokyo last year, for this episode, we travel to the frozen north of the country - to Hokkaido, where we will be hearing the results of a research retreat featuring Japanese sound artist Makoto Nomura in collaboration with traditional and experimental musicians, all using the frozen wilderness as a musical instrument and sound source.
The eerie sound of skimming stones on a frozen lake, music made from huge pieces of driftwood on the beach, the delicate tones of the traditional indigenous Ainu instrument, the Tonkori, plus improvised music from in and around Menu Earth Lab located within a series of experimental architectural spaces.
Production and Field Recordings by Nick Luscombe
