YOSHIMURA Hiroshi: Ambience of Sound, Sound of Ambience

About the Exhibition

Yoshimura Hiroshi (1940–2003), a pioneer of ambient music since the early 1970s, composed the original sound trademark (sound logo) for the Hayama and former Kamakura Museum, which is still played in the Hayama Museum in the opening and closing time. This exhibition invites you into the unknown world of Yoshimura Hiroshi to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing, introducing his various endeavors in music, photography, video works, performances, and sound installations with Kosugi Takehisa (1938–2018) and Suzuki Akio (1941– ). Be sure to experience the sound logo of the former Kamakura Museum, which will be revived at the Kamakura Annex after a seven-year absence.
