—————————————————————————

MUJIN-TO Production is pleased to present “Deep and Wide” by KOMAKUS, who has been exploring the deepening of acoustic spaces.
In a distinctive venue that was once a paper-processing factory built shortly after the end of World War II, the exhibition introduces a new form of music that can be experienced only here.

From its origin, techno has been about transforming the rhythms of decaying cities into DIY sounds of their own, embracing a decentralized, anonymous aesthetic that blurs the lines between creator and listener. KOMAKUS, whose practice deeply absorbs this culture, pursues sounds that manifest only here and now, as if resisting the homogeneous means of information transmission assumed by mainstream culture. Electronic sounds materialize solely through speakers, creating friction on the eardrum. Within this space, sound reveals its material properties while being liberated as something raw and unfiltered.

KOMAKUS
Active since 2019, KOMAKUS uses sound as its primary material, aiming to liberate the soul from the constraints of gravity. Specializing in multichannel acoustic design, sound production, and the development of original sound systems, the group emerged from WHITELIGHT—an audio team that has explored the creation of decentered sonic spaces across multiple genres.
KOMAKUS’s works have been presented at exhibitions including MOT Annual 2019: Echo after Echo — Summoned Voices, New Shadows (under the name “Gozo Yoshimasu Project,” Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, 2019), Contemporary Talesfrom the province VIII: Echoes Here and There (Susaki City, Kochi, 2021), the Sapporo International Art Festival 2024, and A Personal View of Japanese Contemporary Art: Takahashi Ryutaro Collection (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, 2024).
