THE AMBIENT MACHINE / Yuri Suzuki
By freely switching between 32 switches and creating BGM to suit your mood, a new living environment is born in your daily life.
Since 2020, lifestyles have changed significantly, and we have spent more time at home.
When you spend a long time indoors, you become aware of the surrounding noises coming from everywhere, such as sounds from outside, sounds emitted from inside, and reverberations.
Sound artist Yuri Suzuki believed that by replacing these sounds with ambient music, people could have a better time at home, and thus created "THE AMBIENT MACHINE."
This work allows you to customize ambient music by combining 4 types of functions (play/stop sound source, volume high/low, reverb on/off, BPM high/low) for each of the 8 types of sound sources, such as acoustic instrument sounds and soundscapes designed by Yuri Suzuki.
The 8 types of sound sources were designed by Yuri Suzuki so that no combination of sounds would be unpleasant.
Feel free to switch between the 32 switches and find the BGM that suits your mood for the day.
