For the first time this year, TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR is hosting an Offline&Online book fair simultaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like our previous TABF and VIRTUAL ART BOOK FAIR last year, we have asked Compuma to select the music for both venues once again!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The BGM at the ongoing Online book fair is a limited release, only available until it closes on October 31st. Imagining the world of our Online venue with all its vegetables, plants, and soil, he has picked for us some melancholic music with an organic atmosphere! It also includes mysterious electronic sounds, inviting us to feel like we have wandered into an extraordinary world. When you are visiting the Online venue, please enjoy it with the sound on! Feeling at ease, you will be able to experience a precious time of exciting encounters with the artbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Here is the Online venue!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At the Offline fair (10\/28~31), an even more extensive line-up of music will be played at the OUTDOOR LOUNGE situated at B2F of Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Take a break from your artbook exploration, sit back and listen to the BGM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Habitat, an environmental music collaboration by Berlin-based composer Niklas\u00a0Kramer\u00a0and percussionist Joda\u00a0Foerster, is inspired by the drawings of Italian architect Ettore Sottsass. Each of the eight tracks represents a room in an imaginary building. Habitat will be released April9th 2021 via Leaving Records. In Habitat the duo layers, loops and merges sonic textures and patterns into fluid blocks without the restraint of statics. African log drum, Bolivian chajchas, vibraphone, kalimba and various other percussion instruments are processed, pitched, harmonised and filtered through modular synth and script based sample cutting to form a collage of asynchronous layers. By using acoustic instruments and expanding their sound into abstract shapes, Habitat evokes a vague intimacy, a curious state of comfort in the unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Green-House<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Leaving Records presents\u00a0Music For Living Spaces, the debut LP by non-binary Los Angeles-based artist Green-House. Olive Ardizoni helms the project, which made its debut with the charming 2019 EP\u00a0Six Songs for Invisible Gardens.\u00a0Music for Living Spaces\u00a0represents an evolution of its predecessor\u2019s minimalist compositions into songs that move with winsome melodies and emotional arcs. Though recorded during a pandemic, the transporting nature of\u00a0Music For Livings Spaces\u00a0offers a remedy for dreariness. Ardizoni states, \u201cI\u2019m trying to hit that part of the brain that\u2019s affected by the emotional state that you\u2019re in when you perceive something as cute.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Anton Bruhin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the 1960s, Anton Bruhin (born 1949) first began organizing happenings and performances, designing and typesetting his own books, which he self-published with Hannes R. Bossert through April-Verlag, drawing, and writing prose and poetry. It was mainly his drawings and poetry that attracted notice in the '70s. As an exponent of the nascent bohemian and contemporary art scene at the time, his works were included in epoch-making exhibitions, such as \u201cMentalit\u00e4t\u201d \u201cZeichnung\u201d (Kunstmuseum Luzern, 1976), \u201cSaus und Braus\u201d (Strauhof Zurich, 1980) and \u201cBilder\u201d (Kunstmuseum Winterthur, 1981). In the 1980s, Bruhin turned primarily to painting landscapes and townscapes en plein air, whilst also painting interiors and portraits of friends and acquaintances. And in the '90s, he focused mainly on music and poetry, composing palindromes and other forms of experimental lyric poetry, and devoting himself extensively and intensively to one of the oldest instruments in the world, the Jew's harp (aka scacciapensieri in Italian, Maultrommel or Brummeisen in German, Tr\u00fcmpi in Swiss German). After the turn of the millennium he returned to pictorial art, painting, drawing, working on digital pictorial worlds and his DIY publishing strategy. Every year Bruhin puts together a new little artist's book and prints and sends out a small quantity to his personal circle.<\/p>\n

Francesco Cavaliere<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Francesco Cavaliere is a visual artist, writer and sound producer born in Tuscany, Italy, in 1980. He lives and works between Berlin and Turin. His works are capable of enlivening his listeners' inner states through a polymorphic activity that combines writing, sound, voice, drawing, sculpture, which together stimulate the imagination, undertaking long journeys crossed by ephemeral presences. He writes sound stories and music based on particles of sound, noise and language, often integrated with installation and scenographic elements or live performance, showing a particular taste for the most diverse forms of exoticism. Over the years he has developed a veritable dictionary to catalogue the metamorphic beings that inhabit his own abstract fantasy universe: hybrids of objects, animals, plants, planets, trails, cosmic objects and physical and perceptual phenomena generated by glass, minerals and voices, recorded and performed with digital and analog technologies. \"I am a talking scribe ... my voice is a cloud, my pen hisses.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Museum Of No Art<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is in the Museum Of No Art? Not paintings, but visions. Not sculptures, but empty spaces full of potential. It is within this inverted gallery that Mona Steinwidder traces fabulous forms with voice, sampler, synthesizer, clarinet and effects. Under the moniker Museum Of No Art, she has created an album that floats in a hazy lacuna between realities, rooted in propulsive and deep bass resonance, but also footloose, playfully deconstructing language and mixing in layers of echoing synthetic and organic tones. The fascinating result of these unfettered experiments resonate as an imaginary cadavre-exquis <\/em>played by DJ Screw, Arthur Russell, Hiroshi Yoshimura, MJ Lallo, Poppy Nogood, and Laurie Anderson.<\/p>\n

He has produced countless remixes, original songs centering around the DJ mixes including \u201cAkuma no Numa\u201d and the \u201cSOMETHING IN THE AIR\u201d series from his SOMETHING ABOUT PROJECT, a soundscape mix that challenges the idea of MIXCD.
