Masahiko Sunami – Media Artist

As an electronic music composer and media artist, my primary interests lie in the following areas:

• Creating an immersive soundscape / listening environment
• Physical and psychological effects of sound
• Computer as a musical instrument
• Semiotics of music and noise
• Combining computational and stochastic processes with musical improvisation

Using textures as building blocks for my music, I create a meditative soundscape in my compositions that often challenge my audience’s listening abilities and invite them to pay closer attention to the sound that surrounds them. I have mastered programming in Max to create new sonic and visual environments, and turn computers into an interactive musical instrument that I perform with.
