Yugenism: Animated Soundscapes of the Japanese Sublime is the new experimental music and animation project fronted by British producer and sound artist Verity Lane.

Experience an original interpretation of yugen, and immerse yourself within the mysterious sonic landscape.

You will be presented with 4 brand new pieces written for a combination of Japanese and Western instruments. The resulting soundscapes will be accompanied with bespoke animations and traditional Japanese dance. Instruments will include the koto (Japanese harp), sho (mouthorgan), shakuhachi (bamboo flute), piano and organ. Each piece is programmatic in nature, and aims to depict poems and famous Japanese stories.

Creativity and innovation is at the helm of this collaborative project – expressing the magic of the Japanese sublime.
