Legend Channel Episode 8 Now Available! Featuring Takashi Kokubo

The 8th episode of “Legend Channel”, a podcast program featuring interviews with legendary figures in the world of sound, is now available.

This time’s guest is Takashi Kokubo, an environmental composer and sound designer who has pursued a distinctive creative path over many years.

In this episode, we visited “SAGE,” Mr. Kokubo’s private studio, which he has built and maintained over the years as a base for both creation and research. Designed as an environment for deep immersion in sound, the studio reflects his unique philosophy on the relationship between nature, sound, space, and consciousness.

The interview was conducted around “Cyber-kun,” a special head-shaped microphone used in Mr. Kokubo’s original 3D recording system, “Cyberphonic.” We spoke with him about his distinctive approach to perceiving sound as a three-dimensional experience, the ideas behind it, and the trajectory of his work.

Mr. Kokubo is also widely known as the creator of the earthquake early warning buzzer sound used on mobile phones. In this interview, he also discusses the production process behind that sound and the design philosophy involved in creating a sense of tension and urgency.

This is a must-listen episode not only for those involved in music and audio, but also for anyone interested in the relationship between sound and space.

Interviewers
Isao Kumano, CEO of PHONON Inc.
Motoaki Sayama, CEO of Nice Company Inc.
