■ About the soundscape at the Expo Site
The Expo site is divided into seven areas: Life, Festival, Town, Forest, Water, Sky and Earth, and seven composers have created original music based on each concept. The sound changes with the weather and time of day, making the entire Expo site sound like one living entity. Visitors are invited to listen to the music blending into the environment and landscape and sounding softly.
