Yoichi Kamimura
︎ Friday 31.10. ~19:00
Yoichi Kamimura is an artist living in Helsinki. Through his self-described practice of "meditative hunting," Kamimura explores the inner and spiritual connections between humans and nature via field recordings. In recent years, he has presented immersive sound installations, drawings, sound performances, and audio works in Japan and abroad, based on research in locations such as the drift ice of Shiretoko, the glaciers of Iceland, the Amazon rainforest, and the world's largest waterfall, Iguazu.
His musical works include Therme Vals, a collaborative album with France Jobin (Vertical Music, Berlin, 2023). In July 2025, he released ryūhyō, a pure field recording album composed entirely of environmental sounds of Shiretoko drift ice, captured over a span of six years, on the Berlin-based label forms of minutiae. In October of the same year, he released Kōri no ryokō / Jäämatkailu, a collaborative ambient music album with Olli Aarni, on the Slovakian label Mappa.
He received the Sound of the Year Awards in London for two consecutive years, in 2023 and 2024. In the same year, he was also awarded the Phonurgia Nova 2023 Special Mention in Paris.
