Captured in the mountains and cities of Japan, this film blends immersive visuals with an original soundtrack, composed of sounds recorded on location by musician Jackson Fester. An audio-visual exploration of pace, memory and creativity, each train station announcement and temple bell enhances the rhythm of snowboarding and emphasizes the cultural soundscape of this country.
