Music for a Dying Star
Album of songs created with sound sources from the ALMA Music Box
The ALMA Music Box exhibition’s success prompted the production of the crowd-funded compilation CD “Music for a Dying Star”.
11 international artists, including Taeji Sawai, Takagi Masakatsu, Throwing a Spoon, and Christian Fennesz composed music using the 70 unique musical loops that was derived from the music box. We also collaborated with the Kyoto Symphony Orchestra to perform the album live at the Kyoto Okazaki Loop Festival in front of 2000 audiences.
We took part in the artist curation, all design work for the album, and created a website in which users can “travel” through space and listen to the album samples.
