Born in Tokyo in 1987. As long as he can remember, he was convinced that a music festival awaited him at a place where a giant crab-leg tower with a CRT TV embedded in the tower was towering above him. One day, however, a friend told him that there was no such place on earth, and he had no choice but to create it himself. While still in college, he began working as an artist and musician in the area between music and art. He formed the group “Open Reel Ensemble,” which performs live performances using an open-reel tape recorder as a musical instrument, and his performance “Braun Tube Jazz Band,” in which he plays a cathode-ray tube television as a musical instrument, won the Excellence Award in the Art Division of the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival. He also won the Excellence Award in the Art Division of the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival. Since 2015, he has been involved in the “Electronikos Fantastikos” project, a project to create a festival involving people from all walks of life to revive obsolete electrical appliances as electronic musical instruments and play them together in an ensemble. !” a project that involves people from all walks of life to revive obsolete electrical appliances as electronic musical instruments and create an ensemble festival. For his achievements, he received the 68th Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Art Encouragement Prize for New Artists. I recently ran into a friend who told me there was no such place. He is amazed that he is still doing such a thing.
