This animated film visualizes three selected pieces from J.S. Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias.
Each polyphonic voice is translated into a three-dimensional form that faithfully follows its melodic contour, with objects moving along these spatial structures.
The work visually clarifies the architectural nature of the music—illustrating the relationships between melodies in the two-part Inventions and the three-part Sinfonias, as well as the development of recurring motifs in each piece. This work consists of the following three pieces:
 Invention No. 1 in C Major
 Invention No. 6 in E Major
 Sinfonia No. 6 in E Major

The film uses some Chinese characters that make up the word ”hamburger” to illustrate a fabricated psychological phenomenon called ”Burger Satiation” - suddenly not recognizing a burger after staring at it for a while. This phenomenon is caused by neural inhibition, where the brain can only focus on one part of the burger, leading to a loss of a sense of wholeness and a feeling that the burger’s meaning has become unfamiliar. This film is part of the animated anthology ”Burger Order”.

This music video emerged from my personal interest inthe Unicode character encoding standard. Unicode, which encompasses scripts from around the world, has been developed over 40 years through ongoing dialogue among diverse regions and cultures. In recent years, I have been reading its specifications in depth, reflecting on those who dedicated themselves to this standardization effort. The track used in this work is a Japanese tongue-twister song by MONO NO AWARE, remixed by imai of group_inou. For its creation, I researched the history of character encoding, utilized machine learning techniques, and developed dedicated production software. I then meticulously collected characters with similar shapes or meanings and composed them into a stop-motion animation.
