“33 minutes and 33 seconds needed before the world ends” A dying Earth. A strange game played by the survivors: “Mood Hall.” A mysterious middle-aged gentleman and a beautiful woman, appearing and disappearing. Little people. Giants. A party. A desert. The bottom of a pool. Dance. Day and night, repeated again and again. Experimental, artistic, adventurous, half sci-fi, half mystery: a densely layered labyrinthine world made of sketches. A masterpiece of film that strips away words and leads you into a world of seeing and hearing alone! ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ In 2016, “Mood Hall” was presented as the latest installation in Kawaiokamura’s retrospective exhibition. It was Kawaiokamura’s first new work in nine years, with sound direction for the entire solo show handled by Mariko Harada. In 2019, “Mood Hall” was completed as a film work, and in 2020 it was released theatrically at Demachiza, a cinema in Kyoto. The music, of course, was by Mariko Harada. It brought the richly layered 33-minute-and-33-second world of image and sound to the screens and speakers of the movie theater. In 2022, the music for “Mood Hall” was completely rewritten by Kazumichi Komatsu. It was made neither as an installation nor for a cinema, but as a composition intended for streaming. Reading the visuals like a score, he struck the sound against the images so powerfully that they changed, and linked each segment through a distinctive sense of floating weightlessness. Reconstructed through Komatsu’s bold interpretation, “Mood Hall” was named “Mood Hall side B.”
