Fernweh

LISTENINGS: The ephemeral experience of incense through music and object. A Noguchi Museum collaboration exploring contemporary incense rituals.

CO — O1

Created with Hatis Noit, the Japanese vocalist known for transcendent, voice-only soundscapes blending folk and ceremonial chant. Fernweh (German: wanderlust for places never visited) translates longing into scent and sound. Noit's composition unfolds alongside the burning incense, both moving through the same durational arc. In Koh-do, you don't smell incense, you listen to it—a meditation requiring the same attention as music. Part of Co / Listenings, launched in collaboration with the Noguchi Museum.

incense: WOODY, FLORAL.
MATERIALS: a mix of night blooming jasmine and sandalwood.
