Sound Art Project, 2002-

The SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA (SWO) is a project that works exclusively with sine waves that were launched in 2002 by Ken Furudate, Kazuhiro Jo, Daisuke Ishida, and Mizuki Noguchi. ”The single sine waves, which the participants each play freely without a score or conductor, rise and intricately interfere with each other like thin strings, and ultimately create an ocean of sine waves.” Based on this image, the SWO presents works between and within performances, installations, and workshops and invites the public to create a collective sound representation.
