An album re-edited from the nearly seven-hour-long sound installation EARDEN (2025), originally installed at the MEGIHOUSE art space on Megi-jima Island, floating in the Seto Inland Sea. Through the enveloping sounds of Setouchi's waves and wind, the ambient sounds of Megi-jima, and the distant resonance of stars echoing from afar, a primordial sonic landscape is evoked. The title EARDEN is a coined word combining "ear," "garden," and "eden."
Composer. Born in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Her work explores relationships between sounds, and between sound and people, situating them within historical, environmental, and social contexts and reconfiguring them into acoustic spaces. Major musical works include Kagura Paraphrase I,II, which draws on Kagura traditions from Nagano Prefecture; Within behind the Eyelids, commissioned by Ensemble Nomad; and the orchestral work the stars in flux, commissioned by NHK. Beyond the field of music, she has presented numerous interdisciplinary works, including the theatre piece MONONOKE, the sound installation Composition: Listening to Borrowed Soundscapes, and the video work the ash air.
