Asuna

Asuna Arashi is a prominent Japanese sound artist who has gained recognition within Tokyo’s experimental music and art scene. Since his teenage years in the late 1990s, he has been actively participating in various projects with his unique fusion of interdisciplinary art perspectives. His work "100 Keyboards" is a site-specific performance featuring over 100 toy keyboards and offers a developing story from beginning to end. This performance focuses on physical acoustic phenomena such as interference sound and moire resonance to produce a smooth glistening wall of sweetness. Sound waves of the same frequency but with different propagation directions overlap ("Interference sound") and resonances generated by the subtle differences in pitch create a moire-like pattern. Asuna's live performances are an experience: textured soundscapes that blur the lines between art and music.
