FUJI||||||||||TA (Japan)
Yosuke Fujita, also known as FUJI||||||||||TA is a Sound Artist, organist and composer based in
Japan. Fujita’s artistic practice centers on the exploration, manipulation and presentation of sounds
commonly found within nature, including the use of air, water and even the echolocation of bats. The
crux of his performances is his hand-built pipe organ. An instrument, which Fujita based on the
traditional Japanese musical concept of GAGAKU, a slow and elegant form of classical music found in
the 7th century. The organ itself is built of 11 pipes and has no keys. It utilizes an air-pump, known as
“fuigo”, which is modelled after a historic blacksmith’s own tools.The organ is reliant solely on the skill
of its creator in order to produce a sound.
