“BioPunk”
We can do something new not only using computer or using creature but also using computer and creature. But, “Controlling creature’s behavior by sticking electrode into creature and electrifying” is seemly grotesque and make much people image Dystopia. However doing that is not always bad action. In order to realize “BioPunk” it is important to think about “Art” from the viewpoint of emotion such as “Is it rejected when it become popular.”
“Cicada” play “Pachelbel’s Canon”. In Japan, cicadas are popular. So, when we go outside we hear cicadas’ voice and have an opportunity to think about “BioPunk”. Music is strongly connected with emotion and prompt to observe our project. In general cicadas’ voice make people unpleasant. But, in this project even with a solo piece, even a quartet, I do not feel noisy and may feel something somewhere.
