Overview
A sound and art installation tea party was held at “Analog Markert,” an event commemorating the 60th anniversary of Audio-Technica, using “Tatami mats and chests of drawers” as a motif.
The “ROLAND System 100M,” a famous analog synthesizer and favorite of Throbbing Gristle, and the “TTM-V20,” a sound system that combines modern technology with traditional tatami mats made of natural rush grass from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture. These two analog products were arranged with old tools excavated from an actual old private home to create a sound and art installation that combines “analog that has passed the time” and “analog that will mark the time in the future. The walls are decorated with visual images of sound. The walls were decorated with projected images that visualized the sound.
The theme of the event, “analog,” was expressed through sound, images, vibration, food, and tea in a unique, tactile installation. This is an analog tea party that connects the past, present, and future.
