evala
Sound artist. Member of ATAK. Head of "port".
evala has released several cutting-edge electro-acoustic works and made live performances both in Japan and abroad.
His music activities move across a broad range of spheres from sound designs, through to interactive audio and visual programing systems using cutting-edge technology for various media and art spaces. After four years from a strong debut album "initial" (port/ 2006) which was acclaimed as "a Japanese cutting-edge sound art work", this year evala released long-waited new albums consecutively in March and April.
"ttm studies 08" in which all sounds were generated by utilizing the complex systems theory, and "acoustic bend" which gave field recording the topological transformation with an unprecedented method, both works have raised much attention as "an innovative album which leads cutting-edge music to a new paradigm" or "the first musical progression of the 2010s".
Currently, a 24.4 channels three-dimensional audio installation "for maria anechoic room version" ( collaborative work with Keiichiro Shibuya) is exhibited in an anechoic room of Inter Communication Center (ICC). He is today's one of the most-watched figures in the electronic music scene whose spectacular audibility, accurate technique, and vivid musical sense have reached unparalleled level in the world. http://port-label.jp/
