Rather than portraying Ikaho as a landscape, the recordings trace the town's respiration. \nThe material was first presented on site as an installation called IKAHO SURROUNDING - AMBIENT ONSEN unfolding across eight different onsen, where visitors listened while soaking in roten-buro (open air hot baths). The project drew wide attention for proposing listening as a bodily act (音泉音浴), inseparable from heat, moisture, and duration.\n\nhttps://flau.bandcamp.com/album/chalybeate", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
