The short film "Sen'nyū", documenting the series of works created in Beppu with well known musician, 冥丁/Meitei .
The musical piece "Sen'nyū" was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Beppu City's incorporation. In November 2024, over a five-day stay in Beppu, environmental sounds were recorded at various hot spring locations throughout the city, such as "Takegawara Onsen," "Bozu Jigoku," and "Hebin-yu." Based on these collected sounds, Meitei expresses both his impression of Beppu and the traditional Japanese culture of "onsen" through music.
Led by Meitei as general director and created by visual artist Hiroshi Okamoto, this film reflects the deeper narrative behind the "Senyū" project.

別府市制100周年を記念して制作された楽曲「泉涌」。 2024年11月、5日間の別府滞在を通して、「竹瓦温泉」、「坊主地獄」、「へびん湯」など、市内各地の温泉場で環境音を採取。それらの「音」をもとに、冥丁の持つ別府への印象や、古くからの日本文化である「温泉」を、音楽で表現しました。 冥丁が本企画「泉涌」の制作全体の総監督を務め、写真家/映像作家の岡本裕志のもとで映像を通じて、本企画の背景を表した映像作品です。
