HAHAJIMA × [.que] - Music for SHIMA
After a 26-hour sea voyage, what awaited me was the rhythm of everyday life.
While this was routine for the people of Hahajima, for me-a visitor-it was an extraordinary experience; my stay felt like a journey and an adventure, filled with excitement.
I recorded a wealth of sounds-from the ocean itself and the splashes of children playing on the beach to the calls of birds. Particularly moving and memorable was the chorus of "Have a safe trip!" from the locals as they saw me off upon the *Hahajima Maru's* departure.
I wove these sounds into the composition, creating a piece that captures the memories of my stay - something akin to a theme song for Hahajima. I hope that listening to it evokes the feeling of having watched a short film.
