A beautiful evening at the Singapore Art Museum

Following my sold-out solo performance at ArtScience Museum last year, I was honoured to present another sold-out performance at SAM, with 111 people in attendance.

Set in front of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Spacescape, the performance was an improvisational ambient set, unfolding slowly in dialogue with Sugimoto’s contemplative images. As the music filled the space, some listeners were gently lulled to sleep — perhaps one of the most fitting ways to experience ambient music.

My album Into the Darkness of the Night was also played throughout the Spacescape exhibition, making this collaboration especially meaningful to me.

I’m deeply grateful to the Singapore Art Museum team for this opportunity, and I hope this is the beginning of more projects exploring the intersections of sound, visual art, and space.

昨年のアートサイエンス・ミュージアムでのソロ公演に続き、今回もシンガポール美術館にてソロ公演を行い、111名の方々にご来場いただきました。

杉本博司の作品《海景(Seascapes)》シリーズに連なる《Spacescape》の前で、即興によるアンビエント・セットを演奏しました。杉本の静謐なイメージと対話するように、音がゆっくりと空間に広がっていく。演奏中、心地よい音に誘われて眠りにつく方々もいて、アンビエント・ミュージックのひとつの理想的な聴かれ方なのかもしれないと感じました。

また、展覧会《Spacescape》の会期中、私のアルバム『Into the Darkness of the Night』を会場で流していただきました。今回の機会は、私にとって特別な意味を持つものとなりました。

このような機会をくださったシンガポール美術館の皆さまに、心より感謝いたします。今後も、音と視覚芸術、そして空間が交差するようなプロジェクトに取り組んでいけたらと思います。

Hiroshi Ebina Live at ArtScience Museum

Hello Singapore! I’m coming to perform at ArtScience Museum on February 21st. This will be part of their program to introduce two albums I released from Kitchen Label as sound installation. Click here to learn more and secure your ticket.

ArtScience Encounters with Hiroshi Ebina

I’m very exited that the two albums I released from Kitchen Label (“In Science and the Human Heart” and “Into the Darkness of the Night”) will be featured as sound installation at ArtScience Museum in Singapore. The installation goes to public from February 14th. Click here for details.

Into the Darkness of the Night

It’s finally here—my new album “Into the Darkness of the Night” is now available to purchase! As I wrote earlier, this album meant to be for your quiet nighttime. I hope this will help you sleep better.

The lovely photos are taken by the Tokyo-based photographer Yoichi Onoda, and designed by Ricks Ang. I hope many of you have a chance take a look at the LP and CD—they’re beautifully designed. Thank you for listening!

New Album Announced

It’s my pleasure to announce my second album at Singapore-based KITCHEN. LABEL. It’ll be available in LP, CD as well as digital download. The central theme of this album is sleep. While it’s most mundane part of our daily lives, falling a sleep is a mysterious ritual. The 9 tracks were composed and arranged such a way that a listener goes deeper into sleep as the album progresses.

You many purchase the physical copies directly at bandcamp, or at your local record store.

Roa liv Video

It’s been my pleasure to work with NSSG and Yoichi Onoda to create sound for Roa Liv’s latest promotional video. I made it sound organic and relaxed, just as the brand defines itself. I hope you’ll like it.

New album "In Science and the Human Heart"

It’s such a belated announcement, but I released my latest album from Singapore-based Kitchen Label. It was originally planned for much earlier release but it couldn’t see the light of day due to the COVID-related issues. Find more details here.

Collaboration with IDRA

It’s a kind of delayed notice, but we released a collaborative album with IDRA, a very talented friend of mine based in Milan. We’re really please to see this coming out to the public. Check out my page for details

New Live Performance Video for Audiotalaila

In February 2021 I made a little performance video for Spain-based Audiotalaila. Now you can see the whole performance on my YouTube channel.

New EP with Kin Leonn

Kitchen Label has just announced our new EP with my label mate Kin Leonn. Watch the teaser here.

New Photo Series "#iPhoneonly"

I uploaded some of my iPhone photos I took in the past few years. I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while, since iPhone really helped me discover the joy of photography once again, about ten years ago. There is no way the camera’s quality can be compared with my professional cameras I used in recent years (especially with my medium format film camera). However, this doesn’t mean it doesn’t take good photos. Some say the best camera is one you have all the time. These are the documents of my everyday life, and they mean something special after keeping them inside my digital folder.
