From 22 May to 31 August 2025, "Feel the Sound", an immersive exhibition about "feeling" sound with the body, will be held at the Barbican Centre, London.
The exhibition is co-organised by Barbican Immersive (a division of the Barbican Centre) and MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, which will open next year in Takanawa, Tokyo.
E&Y's collection THE AMBIENT MACHINE designed by Yuri Suzuki was selected as one of the exhibits.
In order to get know people to Yuri Suzuki's world as a sound artist, a mix tape (not for sale) containing live sound recordings of Acid Brexit by Yuri Suzuki will be given to those who purchase 'THE AMBIENT MACHINE' after 22 May on a first-come, first-served basis.

This live album, "Acid Brexit Mega Mix" is a reconstruction from 'Acid Brexit', a project by sound artist/designer Yuri Suzuki. Recorded at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow in 2019, amidst the turbulence of the UK's exit from the European Union,
this title was created as a protest against Brexit as "illusion and misdirection by the far-right", with a strong awareness of the relationship between politics and music. It also reinvigorates the energy of resistance that the acid house genre has come to symbolise.
Acid house and rave culture were created by young people at the end of the 1990s in reaction to conservative politics in the UK. As if to bring that social context into the present day, this live album contains a wide range of samples from artists deeply involved in activism such as KLF, Underground Resistance and Psychic TV, tracks that encompass a yearning for the EU ideal, as well as speeches and interviews from the time of Brexit. This is an hour-long live mix, an inexhaustible collage of samples from the Brexit era.
Co-released with Suzuki's Meta Sound Group (MSG), this is a novelty release from the label, which pursues AI and experimental sounds, and is imbued with a strong message and energy.
The design is by Zoë Anspach, as was the cover for the 2018 record Acid Brexit.
