Under Waves,
Ascending

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

CO — O3

Created with Daniel Thorne, the Australian-born, Liverpool-based saxophonist and composer known for otherworldly soundscapes that capture what the birth or death of a planet might sound like—alive, throbbing, dazzling.
Under Waves, Ascending translates upward movement into scent and sound—air thinning at altitude. Thorne's composition ascends alongside the burning incense, both evolving through the same temporal space. In Koh-do, you don't smell incense, you listen to it—a meditation requiring the same attention as music. Part of Co / Listenings, developed with the Noguchi Museum and Erased Tapes Records.

incense: WARM, WOODY
MATERIALS: peppers, woods, vanilla.
