Daiske KINO-SHITA (Flutist, Composer)

② Through my eyes

[Descrption]

KINO-SHITA is a flute and contemporary musician, used to play from classical composers to experimental contemporary music. As a wonder, his very experience of playing and expressing through music at the same time as he sees the reactions of the people in the audience. Only he can see this. In a box, with a connecting tube hanging outside it, stands Daiske's particular sound system. The visitors can produce any sound and it will become music. This way, while trying different sounds, the visitors make a short concert with the box for the small audience of visitors that accompanies them.

[Artist Statement]

In the scene of contemporary art music, it is rare to have an ensemble piece to be performed again after its première. There are a lot of possible causes for this circumstance. However, the main reason could be the lack of consistency in notation method. The standardization of a notation method would provide an easier access to the music for other performers who did not premiere the piece. This would also minimize the lost of artistic possibilities through transmission. Furthermore, the standardization of notation would also provide the space for further development of the art.
