"What most fascinates me is the various sounds of ecosystems.
This is what I felt when I was recording."
Winter 1996

Kawasaki, a sound designer, has been working on the creation of sound environments. Currently he is working as a program production director at St. Giga, and is also active in new media fields such as CD-ROM production. He hears with his whole body. We are pleased to introduce sound works based on recordings he took on Yakushima Island.

Yakushima Island includes a range of climates, from subtropical to subarctic. Accordingly the ecosystems differ with the changing climates. I actually felt this, the change in ecosystems, when I was recording." interviewed by: sensorium staff
