An ongoing exploration of sound, scent, and the natural world.

1hour of focus is an ongoing audiovisual series by Shimon Hoshino, exploring the relationship between sound, fragrance, nature, and human perception.

Each work is a one-hour composition inspired by moments from everyday life — the movement of the ocean, shifting weather, changing light, and the subtle sensations experienced through nature.

Combining piano, electronic textures, acoustic instruments, and environmental sounds, Hoshino creates minimal, immersive soundscapes that invite deep concentration, contemplation, and a heightened awareness of the present moment.

Each composition is accompanied by an imagined fragrance, expressed through carefully selected scent notes, and a monochromatic visual artwork. Together, these elements form a multisensory experience in which sound, scent, and visual perception become interconnected.

Rather than functioning simply as background music, 1hour of focus is an exploration of how invisible elements shape our perception of space, time, and emotion.

New compositions are released regularly on YouTube, forming an evolving archive of fleeting moments translated into sound.

Sound. Scent. Nature. One hour of presence.
