Scenius Deep Listening Session – Ecophony Rinne

Geinoh Yamashirogumi is one of the most remarkable amateur musical collectives of the modern era. The name
can be translated as the “Yamashiro Performing Arts Collective.
” The group began in 1968 under the leadership
of Shoji Yamashiro, who had been appointed conductor of a university-based vocal ensemble called Hato no Kai,
or “Pigeon’s Association.”

CONCEPT

We celebrate the power of collective creativity and the unique energy that emerges from collaborative efforts within the arts community.

Inspired by the concept introduced by Brian Eno*, our events serve as vibrant catalysts for innovation, connection, and artistic growth.

Fred Frith about Improvisation and Collaboration

Fred Frith about Improvisation and Collaboration
“I don’t think you can ever really get to grips with improvising unless you accept yourself for who you are.”

The collective vision of Geinoh Yamashirogumi

When Ecophony Rinne was first released in 1986, its ambitions exceeded the limitations of the formats available at the time. This new edition, half-speed mastered at Abbey Road, approaches the material with a different level of precision, focusing on the preservation of its extended high-frequency structure and hypersonic overtones.

The Necks Experiment with Long-Form Minimalism

Disquiet is a genuinely absorbing series of luxuriously paced improvisations from the Necks, who have been doing this kind of thing for decades.

“SCENIUS IS LIKE GENIUS
ONLY EMBEDDED IN A SCENE
