Sony Park Exhibition MUSIC with Tamio Okuda

Sony Park Exhibition ②MUSIC with Tamio Okuda

Tamio Okuda will publicly create two new musical pieces in his "Cantabile IN THE PARK," and visitors can also experience musical travel by going around listening to songs that more than 130 artists feel were a journey!

Music is entertainment that describes feelings we cannot realize by ourselves and lets us actively unleash our own emotions. Through music, people can generate the driving force to continue living each day. Artists repeat a dialogue with themselves over and over again in the process of creating music, and the thoughts encompassed when we meet with that music inspire our souls.

Ginza Sony Park has heralded the theme "Music comes after a long journey," believing that music, like travel, is something that encapsulates value from the form of its creation, with artists drifting, wandering, and roaming through their inner selves as if taking a long journey.

Now more than 130 artists connected with Ginza Sony Park, such as by appearing in the Park Live segment that has continued since our opening in 2018, including Tamio Okuda, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, and Daiki Tsuneta, have selected their own songs that make them feel music comes after a long journey.

In addition, Tamio Okuda will give a revival performance of his public "Hitori Cantabile," in which he recorded multiple layers of audio by himself, in the Park. On the two days of July 13 (Tue) and 17 (Sat), Mr. Okuda himself will work on compositions here, which in itself can be called a journey for the artist. He will create two new songs, and this course of events will be streamed as Park Live performances.

Music is a journey.

Music embodies the artist's soul.

We are moved by music when it resonates with our hearts, and fills us with warmth, or brings tears to our eyes.

Artists communicate with their own souls and express themselves through music.

They drift, wander and stray…
as if on a long journey.

Perhaps we are drawn to music because of its journey-like preciousness.

Sony's music also set off on a new journey in 1968 with the launch of CBS/Sony Records.

It was a journey to create a diverse musical culture with numerous artists and fans.

Come and enjoy the musical experience of a journey through the souls of artists, created by Ginza Sony Park and musicians.

Comments from Tamio Okuda

I have always been involved with music ever since I was a child, so to say that music comes after a long journey is true from my perspective. I would like to record sounds on the days of my performances like a journal for each of those days.

Exhibition outline

And so, music sets out on a journey.

More than 130 artists connected with Ginza Sony Park will participate in this exhibition on the theme, "Tell us about a song of yours that makes you feel music comes after a long journey," including Tamio Okuda and musicians who have appeared in our Park Live segment and joined or collaborated in our experimental programs.

Plug the headphone jack handed to you at reception into the boxes gathered in our venue, which is similar to the baggage claim at an airport. A little trip that you can only experience here and now begins as you go around listening to various songs that the artists themselves believe, from among their own compositions, are a "journey." You may come across comments narrated by those same artists. Encounter what kinds of songs the artists selected and which artists have narrated comments at the actual venue.

What is "Hitori Cantabile"?

"Hitori Cantabile" was an unprecedented tour that began in March 2010, in which Tamio Okuda publicly recorded multiple layers of audio by himself. He recorded new songs all on his own, thoroughly explaining the process from the work of laying tracks for drums, guitar, bass, main vocals, and chorus to mixing the sound, for a special event that communicated the fun of recording.
