At the “Quantum Fest, Tokyo” in front of leading Japanese researchers, a symphony created by a French composer in collaboration with a Japanese physicist was performed by an orchestra, expressing the worldview of the quantum realm. NHK NEWS, June 15, 2025.
"I had only seen quantum mechanics in equations, but tonight I felt as though I could feel it — it became real.” – Asahi Shimbun (July 6, 2025)
“Paget’s performance combines live percussion, electronic music, and real-time visuals to express the movements of subatomic particles and the structure of the universe. Ceramic instruments crafted by artist Toru Kurokawa, called Ceramophones, produce delicate and unique tones that beautifully enhance the sensory experience of the concert.” – Kyoto Shimbun (September 2022)
"During the concert, the orchestra surrounded the audience, breaking the traditional concert format. Real-time projections and lighting expanded the immersive atmosphere, while the music enveloped listeners from all directions.It felt as if I were floating inside a quantum wave — overwhelmed by the energy of sound itself." – Newton Press – June 2025
Both in Germany and in Japan, information about the Quantum Year and the closing event in Münster will be discussed in collaborations with social media channels.
On June 15, 2025, the analog quantum concert by N‘SO Kyoto will take place in Tokyo (Tokyo Miraikan). The social media activities in Germany and Japan will be coordinated. @hashimotostring is the largest Japanese channel on the topic of quantum physics.
Jacob Beautemps is not only the host of the closing event but also supports the entire event with his team, reporting on Instagram and YouTube about the exhibition, the lectures, and student workshops.
