Asuna breaks the boundaries of sound at Antigel: 100 keyboards for a single sonic vertigo, a total immersion that redefines the concept of live performance.

Asuna Arashi transforms the festival into a sound laboratory with his performance 100 Keyboards. The Japanese musician deploys more than a hundred keyboards, synthesizers, and sound objects to create a universe that is both strange and captivating. Between drones, textures, and unexpected resonances, each note becomes an exploration. An immersive experience where listening is reinvented, not to be missed at Antigel 2026.

In co-production with Musée d'Art et d'Histoire and collaboration with cave12

Playing with the piano?

As a prelude to Asuna Arashi’s performance with her toy pianos, this foray into the Observatoires exhibition, conceived by Geneva-based artist John M Armleder, who brings his work into dialogue with the museum’s collection, invites visitors to discover Christian Marclay’s grand concert piano, which, without being a toy, nevertheless confounds its audience.

Asuna, aka Naoyuki Arashi, is a Japanese sound artist who has been active since the late 1990s. A pioneer of ambient and lo-fi drone music, he combines reed organs, keyboards, and noise in intimate and radical works. After Each Organ (2002) and Organ Leaf (2003), he continued his explorations with unique live performances, such as the “100 Keyboards” project, and numerous experimental releases that cemented his place on the Japanese experimental scene.
