When natural rhythms seem overshadowed, what can resonant tones teach us about listening?

I'm pleased to announce that Soundform No.2 has reappeared in the quiet glow of Zou-no-Hana Park in Yokohama. Presented as part of the Future Scape Project, this atmospheric outdoor version follows its earlier life in Sarashima, where it was first installed during the silence of the pandemic. Now it returns with a new context, sound, and setting, gently reframing how we tune into the environment by poetically sonifying atmospheric changes.

This iteration continues to embrace thermoacoustics, sound art, and environmental interaction. As heated air moves through glass and form, subtle tones resonate outward—an audible reminder of invisible forces at play. Against the night views of Yokohama, the installation becomes a bridge between material and ephemeral: physical glass, temperature, and air transformed into spatial soundscapes.

The Future Scape Project at Zou-no-Hana builds on this dialogue, inviting artists, communities, and passersby to experience new forms. Projection mapping, large-scale installations, and open-air performances dot the landscape. Together, they turn the city into a site of exploration, where each work hums with its question.

For me, Soundform’s return to this new space amplifies its sonic and reflective resonance. I’m grateful to join forces again with Natura Machina (@wu.kj and @yasuakikakehi) to present this work.
