Takuto Fukuda<\/strong> (b.1984\/Japan) is a composer, sound artist and gestural controller performer. How can music alleviate <\/span>the intercultural collisions today? This question awakened him to the social significance of the concert, which <\/span>provides a shared musical experience to all audience members regardless of race, religion, and nationality. In the hope of <\/span>attracting more people to the concert, he has been researching the enhancement of liveness – attributes that make music <\/span>live such as spontaneity, corporeality, and interactivity. His approaches encompass, among others, gestural control of <\/span>music, interactive audiovisual installations and Game Pieces – compositions whose unfolding is determined in real-<\/span>time according to rules, chance operations and competitive strifes between performing opponents toward a goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

His pieces have been prized at several competitions such as Andrew Svoboda Memorial Prize (Canada), CCMC <\/span>2011 (Japan), WOCMAT 2013 (Taiwan) and Musica Nova 2010 (Czech), selected for performance at numerous music <\/span>festivals in Europe, Asia, North and South America such as Ars Electronica(Austria), ISCM World Music Days <\/span>2016 (Korea) and ICMCs(Slovenia, Greece, USA), and performed at prestigious institutes such as IRCAM (France), <\/span>ZKM (Germany), ina-GRM (France), CIRMMT (Canada) and CCRMA (USA). He received his first MA (Sonology\/2011) from The Royal Conservatory in The Hague in The Netherlands and his second MA (Computer Music\/2016) from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in Austria. He has been pursuing his D.Mus in composition at McGill University in Canada with Chris Paul Harman, Georgia Spiropoulos and Sean Ferguson. He has attended at private lessons with outstanding composers such as Philippe Leroux, Philippe Manoury, Isabel Mundry, Beat Furrer and Chaya Czernowin at various composition academies such as Matrix Academy (Germany), Impuls Academy (Austria) and Manifeste 2016 (France).<\/span><\/p>\n

Hailing from Fresno, California, Derek Kwan<\/strong> is a electronic musician, percussionist, and digital artist exploring the expressive capabilities of computer technology through interactive media. His body of work includes improvisatory electronically-enabled musical environments, investigations in applications of web technology that seek to present sound in new and immersive ways, and collaborations with visual artists. He has appeared as a performer in the Bang on a Can Marathon, Make Music New York, and soundSCAPE festival and has appeared with ensembles including Raphael Mostel\u2019s Tibetan Singing Bowl Ensemble, Iktus Percussion, and Elevator Rose. He has had works featured at Bar Thalia at Symphony Space (NYC), Glasslands Gallery (Brooklyn), the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, and the UC Davis Shinkoskey Noon Concert series.

Beyond his work as a composer of concert music, he frequently collaborates with other artists on sound installations, multimedia art, and digital media projects.

 <\/p>\n

Gabi Lewis (Matthew Weisberg, Louis Hamilton, Gabriela Baez)<\/b> is an electronic music trio based in Brooklyn, NY. Their work centers around free improvisation, listening, and communicating through music and expression. They derive their sonic materials from a variety of sources and musical influences; fusing them together in an attempt to integrate the fragmented and complex worlds they find themselves in. They have a strong interest in building community, and actively seek ways to talk about togetherness in a meaningful and impactful way, both within their music and without.<\/span><\/p>\n
