Sound artist based in Yamanashi, Japan

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

KOICHI SHIMIZU

At DIAGE 2026, his sound expands beyond the speakers, brought to life through an audiovisual production that transforms the space into his world. Koichi explores resonance, texture, space, and the physicality of sound, creating music that can shape perception, imagery, and memory.

Based in Yamanashi, Japan, Koichi Shimizu is a sound artist and composer whose practice moves across music, film, installation, live performance. His collaborations include filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, for whom he designed sound for works including Fever Room and A Conversation with the Sun (VR).

For DIAGE 2026, Koichi returns with Continental Affair (DIAGE Deconstruction) — an ambitious reconstruction of Cyndi Seui’s original track, taking its original DNA into a new vision of Bangkok, where beauty and chaos exist side by side. Joined by the voice of Thanachai “Pod” Ujjin, the work becomes a collision of generations, disciplines, and different ways of hearing the city.

ใน DIAGE 2026 เสียงดนตรีของ Koichi Shimizu จะก้าวออกจากลำโพง ผ่านโปรดักชันภาพและเสียงที่เปลี่ยนพื้นที่ให้กลายเป็นโลกทั้งใบ พื้นที่ของเสียงที่สั่นพ้อง, พื้นผิว, ขอบเขตพื้นที่, และมวลของเสียงถูกรับรู้ได้ด้วยร่างกาย ดนตรีที่ไม่ได้เพียงถูกฟังด้วยหู แต่สามารถเปลี่ยนการรับรู้ทางกายภาพและ จินตนาการ และความทรงจำ

Koichi Shimizu คือนักออกแบบเสียงและนักประพันธ์เพลงจากยามานาชิ ประเทศญี่ปุ่น ผู้ทำงานครอบคลุมทั้งดนตรี ภาพยนตร์ ศิลปะจัดวาง การแสดงสด รวมถึงการร่วมงานกับผู้กำกับภาพยนตร์ อภิชาติพงศ์ วีระเศรษฐกุล ในการออกแบบเสียงให้กับผลงานอย่าง Fever Room และ A Conversation with the Sun (VR)

สำหรับ DIAGE 2026 Koichi Shimizu กลับมาพร้อม Continental Affair (DIAGE Deconstruction) การรื้อและสร้างผลงานสำคัญของ Cyndi Seui ขึ้นใหม่ นำดีเอ็นเอของบทเพลงต้นฉบับถ่ายทอดออกมาเป็นภาพของกรุงเทพฯ ในอีกมุมหนึ่ง เมืองที่ความงามและความวุ่นวายดำรงอยู่เคียงข้างกัน พร้อมเสียงอันเป็นเอกลักษณ์ของ ป๊อด–ธนชัย อุชชิน ผลงานนี้จึงกลายเป็นจุดบรรจบของคนต่างรุ่น ต่างศาสตร์ และวิธีการรับรู้เมืองเดียวกันในมุมที่แตกต่าง

See you at DIAGE 2026

Thank you so much, @synthasia_kr

I was deeply touched by the sincerity, hospitality, and friendship of everyone involved in the festival, as well as the audience. I’m so happy to be there. The beautiful mountain scenery reminded me of home, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

Thank you so much, @sijin_grei @chaexxrin and everyone I met, as well as all the great artists and DJs. Hope to see you again soon! taken in Gangwon-do, South Korea by @shimizu_ko

I’ve just returned home from a one month stay in Europe. My first EU tour since the pandemic went very well. Thank you to every organizer, artist, and every single audience. I believe I could deliver the best I can at this point. I truly appreciate all the encounters and the beautiful scenery of each city.

The tour ended with the premiere of “A Flower of Forgetfulness,” a new collaboration work with P’Joe Apichatpong, Duckunit & Rit in Brussels. Despite the very limited preparation time on site, we were able to create a very beautiful and powerful work together. It will travel to more cities over the next few years, so please come experience it if you have a chance.

Again, thank you so much to everyone who supported this tour and helped make it happen. I deeply appreciate it all, and I truly hope I can give something back in return in the future.

パンデミック以降初のヨーロッパツアー、そしてApichatpong監督、Duckunit、Ritとの共同制作作品「A Flower of Forgetfulness」の初公演を終え、先日無事帰国しました。各地でライブを企画してくれた方々、出演してくれたアーティストのみなさん、そして足を運んでくださったオーディエンスのみなさん、本当にありがとうございました。今の自分にできるベストは出せたと思っています。

ブッキングから移動の手配まで全て自分で行いながら、同時に作品制作も進めていたので、気疲れも多く、気持ちが揺れる瞬間もありましたが、各地の美しい公園や自然の中をジョギングしたり、スーパーで食材を買って自炊したりすることで気持ちがリセットできました。

旅の最後を締めくくったタイチームとの新作「A Flower of Forgetfulness」は、現地での制作時間が本当に限られていて、正直みんなかなり不安だったと思います。でも監督が公演初日直前に大胆に構成を変え、無駄を削ぎ落としたことで、結果的に10年前に同じチームで制作した「Fever Room」にも匹敵するような、とても力強い作品に仕上がったと思います。かなり奇跡に近いプロセスでした。この作品は今後数年、東京を含む世界各地で公演予定です。機会がありましたら、ぜひ体験していただけたら嬉しいです。

改めて、このツアーを支えてくれたすべての方々、各地で出会ったみなさん、本当にありがとうございました。心より感謝しています。

Naples isn't just a sonic postcard. It's a port: if it stays open, its language evolves.

At Auditorium Novecento, in the exact same place where records were once pressed to "conquer the world," the opposite is happening today: the avant-garde arrives here, forcing you to confront frequencies that offer no easy comfort.

Koichi Shimizu's live set (opened by Natale FC) isn't "background music": it is an invisible architecture.
Ambient, drone, glitch: tactile sound, pauses that carry weight, noise turning into space. And the most interesting part isn't the event itself, but the short-circuit it generates.

Because what does a viscerally melodic city do when dissonance knocks on its door? If you truly listen, you realize it isn't just a "warm-up" for the star: it's an underground scene trying to forge a contemporary vocabulary.

Tradition stays alive only if it knows how to name the present.

1st Wave Line-up — Artist Spotlight

Koichi Shimizu (JP)

“EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESONANCE AND PHYSICAL ENERGY”
Sound artist and composer based in Yamanashi, Japan. His distinctive style has been shaped by years of hands-on experience across a wide range of sonic practices, including his own artistic projects, music for films and installations, production work for artists across various genres, and the design and on-site setup of multi-channel sound systems.

Since returning to Japan in 2020, Shimizu has focused on developing his solo works and live performances, while also designing sound for director Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s performance pieces such as Fever Room and A Conversation with the Sun (VR), presented internationally.

His work delves into the relationship between layered resonance, sound as a form of physical energy, and the imagery or memories they evoke. He continues to explore how sound engages human perception and consciousness. by @shimizu_ko
