Sound and the World
This is an activity that connects people, nature, the universe, and art through sound.
"Melting the boundaries of the world with sound"
These are my thoughts after spending a long time immersed in the violin and Baroque music.
A world where people, nature, and the universe are all interconnected, without division.
When we play together, we understand each other perfectly, even without exchanging a word.
I feel a sense of synchronicity with the people listening in the audience.
I feel that it is the same world that Buddha once saw and attained enlightenment in.
Through sound and music, transcending all philosophies, religions, ideologies...even the frameworks of art.
"A interconnected world"
We are working with the desire to deliver this to you.

Celebratory Resonance
~An improvisational performance celebrating your existence through sound~
Each person is a unique individual, playing their own original melody.
Every living being in this world is blessed. This is expressed through music.
While I listen to you at a leisurely pace, or observe you, I will translate your voice into sound and perform for you.
The performance will feature a Baroque violin crafted entirely from natural materials. Its organic sound will resonate through every cell in your body.
Immerse yourself in the resonance that celebrates your very existence.
It's perfect as a gift for yourself or a loved one, for a child's birthday, or for a 60th birthday celebration.

AstraTune
Unique and unparalleled music, just for you.
We all come into this world carrying a unique resonance with us from the moment we are born.
AstraTune interprets the arrangement of stars that twinkled in the sky at the exact moment you were born and captures that resonance as music.
It's not just about composing music.
This is an attempt to manifest your existence as a musical work.
The music that emerges is played on a Baroque violin made in the style of over 300 years ago.
The vibrations produced by the strings and bow, made from natural materials, resonate deeply within the space itself, letting your own story, which cannot be fully expressed in words, resonate.
This session is not intended to solve your problems.
Furthermore, it is not intended to heal wounds.
This is a time to reflect on the talents, beauty, potential, and unique resonance you inherently possess, and to celebrate your existence.
In the 18th century, research was also conducted to explore the relationship between the movements of celestial bodies and music.
AstraTune updates that wisdom for the modern age, allowing your presence to resonate in this world through music.
~The AstraTune Process~
❶ A dialogue session based on information from the stars .
Based on your birth information (date, time, and place), we will generate a star chart. Using this chart, we will interpret your inherent qualities, potential, and beauty. The knowledge of Western astrology, with its thousands of years of history, will assist in this process.
*If you are considering AstraTune as a gift, please let us know who you are sending it to.
❷ Music Production
After the session, we enter the music production phase. This is a sacred time in which we create music not only by logically processing what we've discussed into words, but also by using the sounds, feelings, and spatial arrangements that arise in the moment as guides to create your true self.
We interpret the layout diagram as a musical score, and then play the sounds that emerge from it to create a musical order.
*Production usually takes about 1-2 months.
❸ You will listen to the performance.
Please come to our salon in Osaka or Kumamoto to enjoy live music. You are welcome to come alone, with family, or with friends.
You are free to record audio and video.
AstraTune is not a concert that performs existing songs. It is a special performance experience where we deliver music born from your very existence, exclusively for this day.
*If you are unable to come to Osaka or Kumamoto, or if you require the highest quality audio recordings, please contact us. We can arrange for recording by qualified professionals and provide you with the data.
*Please contact us if you would like us to perform at a specific location.
*AstraTune requires consultation regarding the date of your session or performance, so please contact us before applying or making a payment.
Performance at a planetarium
Many ancient human customs and cultural traditions, such as Christmas and Tanabata, are rooted in the movement of the stars and continue to exist today. By representing these through sound, the planetarium space is filled with stars and sounds, inviting you to outer space.
This project was made possible with the cooperation of Hoshi no Sato Iwafune Planetarium in Katano City, located near the Milky Way.
Bodywork and Music
We offer mind-body healing through a combination of bodywork and music.
Through sounds improvised while being mindful of the participants, and by resonating with the sounds of Bach, which are even recognized as a World Heritage Site, we aim to provide a better accompaniment to your life.
The synergistic effect is created precisely because of Yasunori Kameyama's exceptional treatment.
Collaboration with nature and art works
I immerse myself in nature and transform the atmosphere of that place into sound, or I directly translate the worldview of a work of art into sound.
Live music at a meditation session
I had the opportunity to perform live music at a meditation session hosted by MOTOKO, an Ayurveda expert.
While the participants were meditating, I improvised a musical performance, sensing the atmosphere of the moment.
Collaboration event with people from other industries
A collaboration between a reading by author Yuya Kojyo, who listens to the voices of all things in nature, and Bach's unaccompanied sonatas.
It became a place where one could feel the grandeur of Earth's history, transcending time and national borders.
