Using classic motifs from electronic music, Voice of Vision suddenly begins a countdown toward something unknown. With a techno-pop feel, this motion graphic appears on the streets of Shinjuku out of nowhere. This graphic is an experimental collaboration between graphic creator Seiya Nakano and the musician duo Satoshi & Makoto. Seiya Nakano is a technical director who has worked on many high-profile projects in Japan, with extensive experience ranging from projection mapping to large-scale visual installations. Satoshi & Makoto are artists who met at Kraftwerk’s Japan concert tour, and their releases on the Dutch label Safe Trip have drawn attention. The music is original, created by Satoshi & Makoto specifically for this work using vintage synthesizers from the ’80s and ’90s, along with meticulously simulated sound sources. Both the visuals and the sound were produced using unique methods and vintage equipment, unlike the tools used in today’s mainstream scene. With its creative roots in the old-school techno-pop of the 1980s, we enjoyed this collaboration as an homage to techno culture with artists who share that sensibility.

Since 2013, we have participated in a public art project called “Shinjuku Creators Festa”. Voice of Vision took part in this festival in 2018. Using traditional electronic music as its motif, Voice of Vision suddenly starts a countdown toward something undescribed. With a techno-pop taste, this countdown graphic appears in the city of Shinjuku out of nowhere. This graphic is an experimental collaboration between graphic creator Seiya Nakano and musician duo Satoshi & Makoto. Seiya Nakano is one of the most profound technical director in Japan with an abundant experience from projection mapping to large-sized graphic installation. The members of the duo Satoshi & Makoto met at Kraftwerk’s Japan tour. They released their music from a Dutch music label called Safe Trip and has gained reputation since then. Their music is very unique. For Voice of Vision, Satoshi & Makoto used vintage synthesizer from the ‘80s and ‘90s and created this music by intricately simulating each sound. The equipment we used for both graphic and sound are all vintage and utilized various techniques. Therefore, we isolated ourselves from the up-to-date mainstream machines. It is said that the origin of techno-pop is the ‘80s classic old school. This music is an homage to the origin and we made an attempt to collaborate with the artists who can feel empathy with this idea. 2013年から参加しているパブリックアートプロジェクト「新宿クリエイターズ・フェスタ」の2018年に出品した作品。 エレクトリックミュージックの古典的なモチーフを使用して、テクノポップのテイストのモーショングラフィックが新宿のストリートに現れ、何かにむけてカウントダウンしてゆきます。 今回は映像を中野誠也(Seiya Nakano)氏、音楽をSatoshi & Makotoというアーティストと実験的にコラボレーションしました。 中野誠也氏はプロジェクションマッピングや大型映像インスタレーションで、日本の数多くの有名なプロジェクトを手掛けてきたテクニカルディレクターで、音楽のSatoshi & Makotoは、Kraftwerkの来日ライブで出会ったアーティストで、オランダ safe trip レーベルからリリースした作品が話題を呼んでいます。 音楽はオリジナルで、Satoshi & Makotoが今回のために80〜90年代のビンテージシンセサイザーや、緻密にシミュレートした音源を駆使して制作しました。 映像も音も、現在のメインストリームにあるツールとは異なり独特な方法やビンテージ機材を起用して制作しています。 80年代のオールドスクールのテクノポップにクリエイティブの原点を持っていて、共感できるアーティストと、今回はテクノカルチャーへのオマージュとして、コラボレーションを楽しみました。
