Meanwhile, in Fukushima: a collaborative sound project and an “open sounds library”. #2.
Electronic Frequencies presents (for the second time this year) artists inspired by Fukushima (Japan) and it’s recent history.
"Meanwhile, in Fukushima" is a collaborative sound project and an "open sounds library". Central focus is the Fukushima nuclear disaster from 2011 and its after effects up till today. A huge collective of artists from around the globe have participated (a.o. Otomo Yoshihide), and the project continues welcoming any artist interested in this topical subject.

2/ "Poisson-Globe, Hommage à Fukushima", Stéphan Barron 15:09
So far, so close, into us, without borders. Life, city noises. Invisible, diffuse, overwhelming terror.
Everything here, there, going on, fragile and diaphanous.

3/ "Sen no kioku, mémoire d’une ligne", Ayako Sato 10:40
"Sen No Kioku" Japanese for one line memory, is an attempt to define and draw an emotional distance.

4/ "The glowing tree", Joachim Montessuis 19′
Joachim Montessuis borrowed a large amount of material from the open sound library from the Fukushima website, and processed them till the different samples became indistinguishably expressive and poetic.
