Following the passing of Ryuichi Sakamoto in April 2023, Micro Ambient Music was released online for a limited period beginning July 13, 2023 (http://microambientmusic.info/). Curated by artist Tomoyoshi Date, the compilation brings together 39 works by 41 domestic and international artists who were directly or indirectly connected to or influenced by Sakamoto. The four-hour compilation later received the 2023 German Record Critics’ Award in the Electronic & Experimental category.

At ICC, the project will be reinterpreted as a three-day ambient music festival, allowing audiences to experience Micro Ambient Music as a live event. Under the direction of Date, the festival will expand the concept through the participation of new artists and by staging performances across three different venues with distinct settings.

Three sessions will be held each day.
