COLURE | SOUND DESIGN + MUSIC COMPOSITION + VIDEO ART

2019 | TOKYO, JAPAN

Colure is a new collaboration between sound artist, Corey Fuller, visual artist, Synichi Yamamoto. Commissioned by Toshima City in Tokyo, Japan, for a new park and public space, Ikebukuro Nishi-guchi Park, Colure creates a quiet space outside of the third busiest train station in the world. In astronomy, “Colure, refers to either of the two principal meridians of the celestial sphere. The equinoctial colure is the meridian or great circle of the celestial sphere which passes through the celestial poles and the two equinoxes. The solstitial colure is the meridian or great circle of the celestial sphere which passes through the poles and the two solstices.” Like it’s astronomical counterparts, the composition for Colure is made up of several concentric layers whose motions are in harmony yet never intersect.

Colure is a permanent art work that airs twice every hour from sundown until midnight on a large screen with a multichannel sound system.
