「鳥羽サウンドスケープ1 [海女さんドリーム]」2018年
サウンドスケープ：初めて鳥羽を訪れた2018年の夏。旅中録り収めた音でサウンドスケープを制作。
 
印象的だった鳥羽の海女さんたちのお話。いただいた海の幸は絶品。作品には海女さんの磯笛の音を取り入れました（相差にて収録）。また、海女さんたちの一回の潜水時間が平均50秒前後とのこと、作品にも海中シーンを50秒程挿入。

Toba Soundscape 1 [AMA-san Dream] 2018
Soundscape: Created with sounds captured during the artist's first visit to Toba in the summer of 2018
 
The piece was deeply inspired by encounters with Ama-san (free-diving fisherwomen) and from hearing their stories in Toba where the tradition is maintained. I enjoyed the wonderful opportunity of tasting freshly caught seafood, and was able to capture the sea-whistle (Iso-bue) sound from an Ama-san in Ousatsu, Toba. The 'Iso-bue' is a unique whistling technique or breathing method that Ama-divers emit when resurfacing. The piece starts and ends with manipulated sounds of 'Iso-bue'. As the average diving time for Ama-san is around 50 seconds (the length of a single breath), a 50-second-underwater-scene is inserted in the middle of the piece.
