A shooting star in a star-filled sky. It may be a beacon that leads us to the start of our journey.
Guided by the many stars, I too will one day...
A kaleidoscope of sound composed of electronic sounds built on a pure rhythm including 528 Hz, interspersed with sounds recorded from the nature of the Nakahechi region (in Kumano Kodo). 
This is a special "shooting stars" only here.

About the Artist

AWAYA
Sound art unit by Masatomo Fukushima and Yumiko Okuno.
Since 2007, they have moved to Nakaheji in the Kumano region, and using the sounds they hear every day in their daily life close to nature as a source of inspiration, they create “sound art works” that express the mysteries of the universe and life hidden in everyday life in a unique sound world. His activities transcend genres. In particular, at the BIWAKO Biennale international art festival, which he has participated in every time since 2010, he continues to transmit his unique world view through both sound installation exhibitions and artistic concerts.
