Hiroshi Yoshimura
Hiroshi Yoshimura (1940-2003), a pioneer of environmental music since the early 1970s, composed the sound logo "Four Post Cards" for the Hayama Pavilion, which is still played morning and evening at the pavilion to attract visitors. Fascinated by Erik Satie's musical scores, Yoshimura's musical path led him to a wide range of activities, including not only music, but also sound drawings, performances, sound objects (sound tools), and writing. Among them, the LP "Nine Postcards" released in 1982 was the first to make the term "environmental music" widely known in Japan.
Yoshimura has also been involved in the acoustic design of many public spaces, including the Kushiro City Museum (Hokkaido, 1983), the Namboku Line of the Eidan Subway (Tokyo, 1991), and the perimeter of the Yokohama International Stadium (Kanagawa, 1998), and also devoted himself early on to sound-themed workshops held at museums.
This exhibition, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his passing, will include early concrete poetry, musical scores, photographs, video works, sound objects, mobiles, etc., as well as performances and sound installations Yoshimura did with Takehisa Kosugi (1938-2018) and Akio Suzuki (1941- ).
