MSCTY X MEMU EARTH LAB PRESENT MEMU RADIO

Listening to the present: questions for the future. Created by Nick Luscombe, Yu Morishita, James Greer.

MSCTY and the University of Tokyo’s Memu Earth Lab present various broadcasts from Memu, a uniquely dynamic location in Hokkaido, northern Japan.

Memu is a place that while remote, contains an extraordinary micro-universe of activity, with roots in the region’s long history as a final frontier for centuries for in turn, the indigenous Ainu people, Meiji era farm developers, architectural prototypes for future ways of living, and now for the new frontiers represented by its housing of Japan’s first private space rocket launch programme.

This unassuming location surrounded by nature, where clarity and possibility are rapidly emerging together, will form the hub for a global correspondence with inspiring practitioners in the fields of sound and music, architecture, science, technology, art, agriculture, hospitality, and beyond.
