Yuma Yamaguchi—a Cannes Lions Award-winning composer known for his work in film, TV, and commercials—has launched a new music project titled Concordia.
The project kicks off with the release of the original track “Concordia” on Wednesday, April 2, followed by a biweekly remix series featuring top-tier musicians from around the globe.
Originally composed for CONCORDIA, Japan’s largest-scale interactive beach art projection event held at Odaiba Beach Park from November 2023 to January 2024, the track showcases Yamaguchi’s signature blend of minimalistic piano and orchestral textures. Featuring frequent collaborator and vocalist RANU, the piece builds to a powerful finale with intense percussion and beats.
The remix series features contributions from:
• Yuta Bandoh, acclaimed for his collaborations with artists like Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru
Utada, and for scoring projects such as Kaiju No. 8, and Belle.
• bastiengoat, a California-based producer whose tracks have been played by top DJs worldwide, including during Yaeji’s set at Boiler Room: New York.
• Dorian Concept, the Vienna-born keyboardist and producer known for collaborations with Flying Lotus and Thundercat, who brings his intricate sonic palette to the project.
The music video, starring the performance collective NOMENTokyo, premiered on April 2 Directed by Shogo Tominaga (LQVE), the video is a collaboration with creative unit SEKAISEIFUKU—a partnership between Tominaga and NOMENTokyo—who translate the musical universe of Concordia into a lyrical and dreamlike visual narrative.
