Dance and vocal artist Yuko Matsuyama invites multi-instrumentalist Taylor Savvy to setting sound in motion. With voice, ear, and mindfulness you will accompany them.
This musical conversation is inspired by the people who carried cultures around the world – artists, merchants, monks and nuns, priests and wanderers who travelled through countries like the wind in a time without airplanes. The silent musical instruments in the showcases of the museum awaken thoughts and fantasies of these dancing and music-making travellers.
