Keiichiro Shibuya provided music for Google event in Kyoto. “Home of Design ”, an event where you can experience the design philosophy of “Emotional Design” by lvy Ross, Google’s Chief Design Officer leading hardware design .

Shibuya’s music for a Japanese-style room inspired by the key Pixel color “Hazel.” The AI generates  poetry based on emotional keywords associated with “Hazel”-like “grounded,” ”peaceful,“  “rest,”

“soothing,” “hushed,” and “content”-in like a Zen dialogue. These poems appear and fade, blending seamlessly with music.

This special installation incorporates Shibuya’s sound installation “Abstract Music”,which creates an ever- changing, never-repeating soundscape, combined with an AI poetry program developed  by contemporary artist  Yuma Kishi. Adding to the experience, delicate fragrance created byLa Nuit parfum and Izumi kan, themed around “music you feel on your skin ,”gently fills the space.

At Milan Design Week 2024, LEXUS presented an exhibition titled “BEYOND THE HORIZON,” featuring music composed by Keiichiro Shibuya. The spatial design was crafted by Hideki Yoshimoto, who created a massive screen measuring 4 meters in height and 30 meters in width using Echizen washi, a traditional Japanese paper with over 1,500 years of history. The screen displayed ever-changing lights resembling a horizon, creating a dynamic visual experience.

The exhibition also featured ten interactive sculptures, each approximately 2 meters tall and adorned with washi, with each sculpture exhibiting a unique expression of light.

Keiichiro Shibuya was responsible for the music, creating a new work based on his sound installation piece “Abstract Music,” specifically tailored to fit the concept of the exhibition. The soundscape, generated in real-time by programming from vast sound data, moved fluidly between 31 speakers placed throughout the venue. This created a continuously evolving audio experience, ensuring that no two moments were ever the same.

The combination of the changing horizon from dawn to dusk, the guiding presence of the “LF-ZC” and the ten sculptures, and Shibuya’s “Abstract Music” came together as a unified experience, offering a unique, personal, and immersive journey for every visitor.

On May 12th and 13th, “PRADA MODE Tokyo” was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum – Japanese Garden. Architect Kazuyo Sejima curated the cultural program, with Keiichiro Shibuya participating. On the 12th, a sound installation was presented in the Japanese garden, along with a performance using the Prophet-5. The garden was dotted with 24 speakers, from which sound files were programmed to play with randomized parameters such as pitch and position. This created a unique, site-specific soundscape that can only be experienced at that moment.
