Did you know that many classical composers came to Osaka for the 1970 Osaka Expo? There, many experiments in musical expression were conducted, led by the German composer Stockhausen. There are countless musical expressions developed in Osaka, such as spatial expression of sound using a large number of speakers and modulation of sound through programming. Ideas that are not bound by conventional frameworks influence a wide variety of artists. Particularly in the art world, young artists known as the "Kansai New Wave" have been presenting unique works of art one after another, and Osaka has become a mecca for artistic development, known as the "high west, low east.
EXSP'25" to be held next April will focus on the theme of future society in the development of technology. In this performance, we would like to look back on the history of this "sacred land of artistic development, Osaka," and consider the relationship between people and the arts, including music, in this age of many technological developments.

Features of the concert
1. You do not have to sit still to listen! Rather, it would be a waste if you do not listen while moving around to enjoy the moving sound!
The "aquaemonium" used in this performance is an instrument for spatial expression in music. By installing many speakers, the sound moves around throughout the entire concert hall. In this performance, the audience will enjoy the moving sound in addition to the performance. Therefore, you do not have to sit still in a chair to listen! Enjoy listening to music freely wherever you like!

2, Music for parents and children
Kettai-san," which will be performed for the first time in the world, is a piece of music based on human voices and readings, created to introduce Osaka's folktales and food culture. Therefore, it is music that can be listened to as a storytelling. This way of composing music was also developed after the 1970 Osaka Expo. Please feel the charm of Osaka loosely with this music born in Osaka.

3, Satisfy your intellectual curiosity
The theme of this performance is the 1970 Osaka Expo. You will experience how classical music changed and developed with the advent of numerous electronic technologies. This is a great opportunity for those who want to deepen their knowledge of music to be exposed to music that they cannot listen to on a daily basis.

Tierkreis Music and Astronomy
Stockhausen contributed to the development of Japanese culture through his experiments in musical expression at the Osaka Expo and the establishment of the NHK studios. The building where the experiments were conducted at the Osaka Expo still stands today in the Expo Commemorative Park under the name "Iron and Steel Pavilion.
Tierkreis Music and Astronomy" is a piece of music that compares the musical structure "Doremifasolacido" to sitting on the floor. The composition is not clearly defined, and the performers decide their own instrumentation to play the piece. In this performance, the music will be performed with piano using the sound technology created by Stockhausen himself.

Dialogue of Double Shadows
As a conductor and composer, no other classical musician of all time has contributed so much to the development of music. His achievements in new compositional techniques and the use of electronic technology for musical expression are among the best in the world.
Dialogue of Double Shadows" is a piece played by a single clarinet, but with seven speakers, sounds can be heard from all over the place, and even the use of a piano allows the listener to enjoy the changes in sound. Please enjoy the sound of the clarinet as it changes through the use of electronic technology.

Artwork of Sound and Image
During the 1970 Osaka Expo, many composers gathered in Osaka to experiment with various musical expressions. After the Expo, this activity spread to the art world as an artistic expression that transcended the stereotypes of music, and installations and other works of art boomed, especially in the Kansai region. In this performance, art works will be performed on a new "musical instrument" using many speakers called an "acousmonium.

Mr. Kettai.
Music is basically made with "Doremifasolacido. However, with the development of recording technology and other technologies, classical musicians began to consider sounds heard in everyday life, such as the sound of water and people talking, as musical material. The music created in this way is called "music concrète," and this composition technique was also greatly developed at the Osaka World Exposition. This time, I, Tomonori Okada, have composed a piece using this technique and will perform it for the first time in the world.
In this piece, I use the composition technique developed in Osaka to compose music on the theme of Osaka's history and food culture. I hope you can feel the culture of Osaka, which is also known as "the kitchen of the nation," "the city of water," and many other names.
