Keiichiro Shibuya Solo Piano Concert
「ATAK018 Memories of Origin Hiroshi Sugimoto Concert Version」
at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art
For one evening only, the Hara Museum will hold a piano and computer concert by Keiichiro Shibuya, who composed music for the documentary movie Memories of Origin Hiroshi Sugimoto.
Since founding the music label ATAK in 2002, Keiichiro Shibuya has explored the relationship between technology and music with dedicated focus, becoming the most talked-about musician active today. His work spans a wide spectrum of musical genres—from electronic music utilizing computer technology to simple, beautiful piano solos and pop music. He continues to actively expand into new areas, such as music for movies and television, live performances and participation at major music festivals throughout the world.
In addition, he created the sound installation “filmachine” at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM) in 2006. He released the CD version “ATAK010 filmachine phonics Keiichiro Shibuya” in 2007, the world’s first 3-D CD designed for headphone listening which earned him a honorary mention in the digital music division of Austria’s Ars Electronica in the same year. In this and other experimental efforts that push the musical envelope, he has received high critical praise.
The centerpiece of the concert will be music from “ATAK018 Soundtrack for Memories of Origin Hiroshi Sugimoto,” Shibuya’s most recent album in which he explores the possibilities of the piano. Composition, performance and recording were all done by the artist himself.
