Path of Tones

For Kaoru Tanaka, “sound is always intertwined with our lives, coloring different moments.” Her work Path of Tones begins with a collection of different sounds whose trajectories reflect the movements of everyday activities. By recording these moments as memories, the project expresses how an accumulation of trivial sounds and events ultimately shapes the form of the world. It is inspired by Hiroshi Kawano’s system of image generation known as the “K-system.”
