Nakagawa is the first featured artist on a new platform titled “UNTERWELTFREQUENZEN”: This is a sound-reliant project, designed to be experienced in a quiet environment. For the best results, please use stereo headphones or studio-quality speakers with a minimum frequency response of 70 Hz – 30 kHz. The project also includes wide-format visuals, which are somewhat integral to the experience. To ensure proper display and legibility, please: Set your view to "Default" . Your environment, sound setup, and display all play an essential role in how this work is perceived. LINK
