Starting this weekend, we will be selling a postcard set in stores featuring fountain 2 fountain's latest mix.
"Fountain 2 Fountain" is a project by artist Shosuke Suzuki to create background music for various spaces. IACK has been providing the sound source for our stores since 2020.
The production of the BGM began with taking photos of the interior of the IACK store for Suzuki, who had never visited the store before. Based on those photos, Suzuki's image of IACK's BGM was created, and the completed soundtrack is actually played in the store.
As we participated in this project more and more, I began to feel that this collaboration was not just about creating background music that fits a space, but a unique project that has an unexpected effect on the actual space by resonating with reality and fantasy. And especially in times like these, I wanted to create a project that allows people to experience the strength and richness of imagination.
Inspired by the production process that resembles a correspondence, we have created three postcards from images of IACK on weekdays that were used as references when working on the new BGM. On the back is a QR code that allows you to download the sound source.
Following the old custom of sending postcards to friends and family from your travels, these will be sold exclusively in-store. We are still living in an age where freedom of movement is not possible, but we hope that the day will come back soon when people from outside the prefecture and even the world can visit our stores as they have done in the past. When that day comes, please consider sending this postcard to anyone who comes to mind.
