Sonic Expression
Instruments and the Expressive Body
Compositions and sound experiments exploring gesture, embodiment, and performative interaction.
Piano
I started playing the piano simply to play the songs I loved.
Learning by ear, I explored each note with my fingers, intuitively and by feel.
What began on a school piano has become a space for exploring emotion, structure, and the physicality of sound.
Playing with Touch
We sculpt form through touch, our most intuitive sense.
Here, sound is shaped by our hands.

Inspired by my earlier explorations with conductive slime
Air Guitar
It all began with the 2020 Air Guitar World Championship
Japan Regional, a performance that never happened in person due to COVID.
With no physical guitar to hold, I found a freedom in movement that even real instruments cannot contain. In Air Guitar, my body is the instrument — performance is an act of imagination.
Playing Control
MIDI is more than a way to trigger sound.
It is a space where control becomes expression, much like the subtle hand movements that create vibrato on a string.

Anything can become an instrument
the moment imagination touches it.
