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.
