ASURA – Dairakudakan

I had a chance to compose a series of electroacoustic music for stage at the spectacle of “ASURA” directed by Naomi Muku in Butoh dance company, Dairakudakan at Kochu-ten. The dancers continued to develop and refine the organization of all scenes under the direction of Muku and supervising of Akaji Maro until the first performance day, and I tried to rearrange the music following the stage production, and the result has become a very satisfactory execution. Every ten days of shows are complete crowd of spectators, and I am pleased to have developed my musical ideas for stage working with such a wonderful group of dancers. Thank you!

Destellos Competition 2015

I got a mention, the third rank without the first, at the Destellos Composition Competition 2015 in the category “electroacoustic mixed” with my piece, Soliton for chamber orchestra and electronics.
This is the work which I feel inadequate at present, but I am happy to have an appreciation for this compilation of the end of study at the composition class of Paris Conservatoire and thanks a lot for the organizer Elsa Justel and for the jury Pete Stollery, Panayiotis Kokoras, Ingrid Drese, Jens Hedman and Mario Mary.
