To help launch Resident Aliens, a violin & percussion duo by creating appropriate promotional materials including professional recording, video, and website.

Resident Aliens was formed in summer 2018 by Sita Chay (violin) and Chihiro Shibayama (percussion) with a goal of bridging the world of sports and music. The project aims to tell stories of various sports through music and other interdisciplinary art forms.  Original music will be written by the members of the duo, involving improvisation which plays a crucial role in both sports and music. The performances will be held in venues such as indoor rock climbing, swimming pool, baseball field, etc. to push further imagination and connection between sports and music. We want to work on each theme uniquely collaborating with musicians, artists, athletes, and dancers to accentuate different disciplines and cultural backgrounds.
