“I discovered a small universe by collecting environmental sounds and images of street walls” Nonturn
"Jellybeans": Nonturn's New Album Trailer - April 20, 2023
Directed by Hidetou Ishii
We are excited to announce the release of our new art film trailer. This work is a dynamic visual journey, similar to a continuously evolving landscape painting, that captures a 15-minute scenic route between Jokoji Station in Yamagata and Sakaida Station in Kagawa. Utilizing high-speed filming techniques, the 15-minute journey is stretched out into a 56-minute and 50-second album. We invite you to experience this dynamic and ever-changing scenery for yourself.
Directed by Kawashimatekkojo
Inspired by Nonturn’s photograph on the album cover, a movie director based in Wakayama prefecture Kawashimatekkojo created a minimal and delicate music video for the track “Identify”.
“The image of “Identify” seems like strata, which is a layer of condensed time. Over the years, it has been damaged, scraped, weathered, producing its own atmosphere.
I visualized the lapse of time in accordance with the music that embraces the memory of the image.” Kawashimatekkojo

mooor 1st Album "Elmer and Elsie"
“Elmer and Elsie”
This work focuses on "distance". We recorded oscillators
(e.g. sirens, hustle and bustle, frogs, engines, a contrabass) from a distance of centimeters, meters, and kilometers, then edited them by controlling the oscillators' pitch, rhythm, and texture to construct huge and elaborate sustained sounds that sound like music.
