SOUNDS OF EBISU
On 30 November 2024, LEMAIRE will host a live performance by sound artists Kali Malone and FUJI||||||||||TA.Kali Malone will perform on a positive organ while FUJI||||||||||TA, celebrated for his innovative soundscapes, will play his signature water tanks, integral to his auditory explorations.
FUJI||||||||||TA made field recordings outside the walls of LEMAIRE’s flagship, taking the pulse of the
neighbourhood. "When I do field recordings, there are two main approaches that I take. One is to search for specific sounds, such as the poles of power lines, guardrails, and posts in the city. It involves digging out sounds
that we typically can’t hear," he explains.
"The second is when I try to record an entire environment. The idea is that if my body were to be embedded in this place for years, the soundscape would gradually seep into it: this is the kind of experience I’m aiming for."
