Keiichiro Shibuya served as the music and sound producer for POLA SALON+ AOYAMA, which opened on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, where his sound installation work Abstract Music has been permanently installed.
Following the renewal opening of POLA’s global flagship store POLA GINZA on December 12, 2025, POLA SALON+ AOYAMA has been created through the collaboration of spatial design by architect Kazuyo Sejima and music and sound production by Keiichiro Shibuya.
Sound Installation: Abstract Music
Sound moves freely throughout the space, constantly transforming its form—like clouds, wind, or a membrane.
At times, multiple layers of sound expand across the environment; at others, a single sound fills the entire space, followed by moments of silence.
There is no conventional background music or playlist in this space.
Instead, this permanently installed sound installation exists as the sole musical presence, continuously generating new resonances as an integral part of the architecture itself.
Endlessly evolving music and whispers echoing through a virtual forest open new doors of perception for those who visit the space.
