“Yoichi Ochiai x Japan Philharmonic Orchestra Project,” which started in 2018 with the theme of “reimagining orchestra through technology,” is celebrating its fifth performance this year. This year’s concept is “open your senses.” Under the title of “Sound of Digital Fermentation,” the aim is to present a concert that will reclaim music and physicality by awakening ​the five senses, including the sense of smell and taste, through a live orchestra.

As a “Video Performer,” WOW expands the orchestra from a visual standpoint according to the theme at the time. For this year’s performance, a large-scale video system will be divided into strips and installed on and above the stage. When each piece becomes overlapped to create a single scene in the brain, what kind of image will be depicted? This new orchestra experience seeks to incorporate the senses that are cultivated from the indigenous nature of each individual.

Through this performance, we hope that you can experience the new scenery of this era and the “restoration of physicality.”
