Jazz at the Aquarium: Takamatsu

I stumbled upon an unexpected collaboration: local jazz musicians performing inside the Shikoku Aquarium. It wasn’t just a concert; it was an experiment in how music interacts with marine life.

Two scenes stayed with me. Inside, professional musicians played against a massive glass wall. As the deep blue light from the tanks washed over the performers, the music felt like it was drifting underwater—dreamy and surreal.

Outside, a student band took the stage. Their melodies were slightly raw, but paired with the energetic dolphin show, it felt like pure, unpolished youth. This project is a record of that strange, beautiful harmony between the rhythm of jazz and the pulse of the sea.

意外得知四國水族館與高松在地爵士樂手有個合作企劃。在水族館裡表演爵士樂，不只是為了觀眾，更像是與館裡的生物進行一場對話。這是我從未想像過的展演形式。

有兩個場景讓我特別難忘。室內的專業表演場景背靠著巨大的水槽，隨著深藍色的光線漸漸透過玻璃灑在樂手身上，音樂彷彿也帶了水感，夢幻得令人屏息。

而戶外的學生樂隊，演奏著略顯青澀的曲調，搭配活力十足的海豚表演，那種充滿生命力的青春感，讓人莫名感動。這組照片紀錄了爵士樂的律動與海洋生物的節奏，如何在那個空間裡達成奇妙的共鳴。
