Maison x beverage brand, movie theater x camping, or, more recently, public bathhouse x DJ booth. The fusion of unexpected things sometimes creates rationality and strong chemistry.
This time we introduce a service that combines temples and shrines with musiciansSOUND TRIP"How can we enjoy music in that space where quiet time flows? How are we going to enjoy music in that space where quiet time flows? ...... For those of you who have a lot of hatena marks flying over your head, let me explain in detail.
With a single smartphone, you can play music anywhere and anytime, but the impression of a song can change depending on the place or situation where you listen to it.
Take Tamio Okuda's "Easy Rider," for example. When I listen to it while traveling or driving, the lyrics of the song come to mind more clearly than when I listen to it at home. I am sure you have had this experience as well.
SOUND TRIP" focuses on the various sounds that are woven into the fabric of temples and shrines, such as gravel, mountain winds, and creaking floors. By combining these sounds, artists are able to create works that can only be heard at temples and shrines, and that should only be heard at temples and shrines.
Here is the lineup. All are chic combinations of Kyoto temples and shrines and up-and-coming musicians.
Jingoji & Saimyoji Temple x Aoba Ichiko
Ninnaji Temple x youssef&Shuta Hasunuma
Zuishin-in x haruka nakamura
Myoshinji Temple Tazo-in Temple x Chihei Hatakeyama
Using this service is very simple. When you visit the shrine, you only need to pay 300 yen for the experience, and if you purchase a special QR code for 500 yen, you can even take the music home as a souvenir. Each time you listen to the music, it will bring back memories of your trip.
In the future, they plan to partner with more temples, shrines, and artists. Come and listen to "music with a story" at a cultural spot in good old Kyoto.
