This sound is from my video work "The Fire of New morning". The original edition is around an hour. The room in which the video and sound recording took place was in the countryside of Ibaraki, near Tokyo. The window faced east. It is a personal ritual for me to watch the sunrise carefully. I light matches one after another while waiting for the sun. But it is not a special sunrise. We consume the fire every day, now and forever.
