Pedro Vian plays Jon Hassell

Join us at the Lobby Lounge for a special 90-minute listening session presented by Pedro Vian, founder of the Barcelona-based label Modern Obscure Music.

For this session, Pedro will offer a dedicated deep-listen to Jon Hassell—a pioneering figure in experimental ambient music whose visionary blend of electronic, acoustic, and global sounds has reshaped modern music over recent decades.

Hassell’s philosophy of “Fourth World” music—a seamless fusion of traditional textures and modern technology—deeply aligns with the immersive listening experience we aim to cultivate here in Kyoto.

Drop in, unwind, and immerse yourself in an afternoon of sound.

 

エースホテル京都のロビーラウンジにて、バルセロナの上質なレーベル<Modern Obscure Music>を主宰するPedro Vian(ペドロ・ヴィアン)を迎えた特別リスニングセッションを開催いたします。

今回のセッションで彼がフィーチャーするのは、実験的アンビエント・ミュージックの先駆者であり、現代のエレクトロニック、アコースティック、ワールドミュージックの融合に多大な影響を与え続けている伝説的音楽家、ジョン・ハッセル(Jon Hassell)。

彼が提唱した、異文化のサウンドと先進技術が交差する「Fourth World(第四世界)」という独自の音楽概念は、伝統と現代文化が脈打つ京都の街で私たちが提案するリスニング体験と深く共鳴します。

ゆったりとした午後のひととき、没入感溢れる音響空間をお楽しみください。

MISU IS SPINNIN' AROUND OVER YOU at The Boardroom

MISU IS SPINNIN’ AROUND OVER YOU marks the first presentation of MISU in the United States.

The exhibition title reflects the continuous movement behind every cup — seeds passed down and planted again, grains moving from field to maker, through roasting and grinding, and finally into our everyday lives.
