Vaundy produces official theme song. Exhibition teaser video released with early preview of the track
Multidisciplinary artist Vaundy has composed an original official theme song for YBA & BEYOND: British Art in the 90s from the Tate Collection, opening at The National Art Center, Tokyo from Wednesday, 11 February 2026 (national holiday).
A newly released teaser video introduces the exhibition and features an early preview of the official theme song. The track reflects the cultural atmosphere of the period, when contemporary art in Britain intersected closely with music, fashion and youth culture, and functions as an aural entry point to the exhibition.
Official Theme Song: A New Composition by Vaundy, Shaped Through Creative Engagements in London
Vaundy, who delivered a vocal performance at Tate Modern in 2025, has written an original song, Singularity, as the official theme for the exhibition.
The cover art features a painting by Michael Craig-Martin, whose work is also included in the exhibition and who played a pivotal role in shaping British contemporary art of the 1990s, mentoring and influencing generations of younger artists. Accompanied by visuals where art and music intersect, the track is scheduled for digital release on 11 February 2026, the opening day of the exhibition.
Vaundy has developed a number of recent projects connected to London, including Vaundy LIVE in London, filmed at the Old Royal Naval College (WOWOW Original Live Special), as well as recordings made at Abbey Road Studios. Drawing on these experiences, the new composition responds to the cultural energy of 1990s Britain through Vaundy’s contemporary musical language.
Message from Vaundy
During my time in the UK, I often visited Tate Modern. It was one of the places where I could spend calm, comfortable moments—sometimes quietly drawing on my own.
Experiencing the museum’s vast collection and the richness of artistic expression within it was sometimes overwhelming, but it also gave me tremendous inspiration.
‘Singularity’ is a song that expresses a love for creation that transcends time and place.
It is about journeying toward a singular point through the act of making. I feel it truly lives up to its title.
