ABOUT

The laboratory of BGM (background music) is now “opened” in 2016 by Yuri Miyauchi and sphontik, after years of co-writing/co-producing music and performing live and BGM together.​

BGM LAB. is a music laboratory of BGM (background music). With a well-balanced use of analog and digital technologies, we are exploring “ Music as backgrounds ” that is the best fit for the living environment today. Uplifting music and music that is producing a different vibe in a space is important. However, we doubt that the music we love listening to is always good background music for everyday life. In BGM LAB., we place music behind your everyday life so that we try to help making your everyday life more fulfilling by creating environments (musical, tonal, and sonic) where you can reflect on yourself or you can be true to yourself.
