Chime Time

As the late summer breeze drifts through the air, the Myochin Hibashi Wind Chime rings with a crisp, delicate tone. This soundscape captures the quiet transition from the lingering warmth of the day to the gentle coolness of evening—a fleeting moment of serenity before autumn arrives.

Myochin Hibashi Wind Chime (明珍火箸風鈴) is a traditional Japanese wind chime with a deep history. The Myochin family has been a lineage of armor makers since the Heian period. As the demand for armor declined in the Meiji era, the 48th-generation craftsman began making hibashi (fire chopsticks). Later, in 1965, the 52nd-generation artisan created the first Myochin Hibashi Wind Chime, known for its clear, resonant tone that lingers beautifully in the air.

Let this sound accompany you as you unwind, reflect, or simply enjoy the beauty of a fading summer day. 

Recorded at: A quiet Japanese summer evening

I record to reveal the music already living inside our surroundings.
From wind-rustled leaves to late-night train stations, I believe every moment—natural or human-made—carries hidden melodies, harmonies, and rhythms born from the chance overlap of sounds. Through field recordings I frame these soundscapes and let the music inside them surface. Close your eyes, listen, and you’ll hear the pulse and color of everyday life.

世界には音楽が潜んでいる。

自然や人々の営みが発する音の風景を切り取り、
偶然に生まれるリズムやハーモニーを抽出するのが私の創作です。
