As the world is experiencing an unprecedented global pandemic, we are increasingly exploring a new normal to build our everyday life. The role of OTOCARE Fuji Iyashi no Mori is to unravel how sound and music can enrich our experience of the forest, and how, in turn, the natural environment can inspire the way we listen to and appreciate sound in nature. We will be discussing, a form of sound made by forest and music, potentials in our new places, and the future relationships between the forest and ourselves.

This was held on November 15th, 2020 at UTokyo Fuji Iyashinomori Woodland Study Center (FIWSC) in the town of Yamanakako.

OTOCARE’s mission is to foster a deep sense of wellbeing through the use of sound, drawing from years of individual research and planning and by forging new partnerships with healthcare professionals, urban designers, artists and scientists.

OTOCARE was founded by Yu Morishita and Hikari Sandhu from the University of Tokyo and Nick Luscombe from MSCTY, initially as a response during the early days of the COVID 19 pandemic, to conduct research around the use of sound recordings to improve the wellbeing of staff and patients in high-stress medical environments. The project has since expanded into other areas of study and application.
