a trombone, and Ryoko Akama (self-made sound instruments).”

medium is sound, but he also combines other elements including light,
electricity and the movement of objects. In live performances,he uses
self-made tools and instruments based on electronic devices, everyday
materials, and junk. His installation work handles sound as a physical
and auditory phenomenon, and focuses on characteristics such as
vibration and interference. He released his first solo CD Phenomenal
World on Japanese label Hitorri. ”
