RESONANCE: Takuji Aoyagi a.k.a KAMA AINA’s feauture film

At this point in time, how can we rebuild our relationship with nature?

By merging voices of different cultures and noises from our environments, Resonance takes a closer look at our fundamental experience of sound.

Let us free our voices and experience a shared sense of harmony.

To see it grow beyond the bounds of language and race.

 

 

Hello my friends in the world!

 

This film mainly features on musicians and their peaceful activities.

 

Takuji Aoyagi a.k.a KAMA AINA is focused on his ”Circle voice" project, he is also in charge of the total sound design of this movie.

 

Marcus Archer, who leads the German scene in The Notwist, Lali Puna,　Hochzeitskapelle, etc, also appears on screen and play music together.

 

The concept of the movie is “recovering the relationships”

 

Currently, there is a lot of divisions here and there in the world, between  people, people and nature, borders, and ethnic groups.

 

How about just starting by sharing time and space where we co-exist as simple forms of "sound" and "voice"?

 

Shooted in Munich, Leipzig, Okinawa and Tokyo, there is a refreshing of senses in this film where the voices of nature and artifacts, various lands and soils,  past and present mix together and make a place that is nowhere other than the moments.

 

We have the idea to expand the circle of people's voice in Japan and Korea, where  recently tensions are increased politically, and around the world. 

 

We are crowdfunding to realize more wide screening of this movie beyond the locality.

 

The deadline is September 30. Only a few days are left.

 

If you have the Internet, you can help us from anywhere in the world.

 

If you sympathize with us, we are looking forward to your kind support!

 

 

PROJECT SUMMARY
Resonance is the second feature film directed by Toshinori Tanaka, since his first film Super Local Hero. The film follows Aoyagi in post-disaster Japan as he attempt to bring people’s consciousness to harmony through his sound project Circle Voice. To help spread an experience initially only available for the participants, the film was created to give focus on the meaning and the motivation behind the project. With sonic and cinematic effect, it aims to resonate with the audience on a visceral level. By the end, the audience will leave with the sense of having experienced Circle Voice.
