Sound artist. Born in 1941. Since his infamous Throwing Objects Down a Staircase event at Nagoya Station in 1963 and the self study events which followed, where he explored the processes of “projection” and “following” in the natural world, Suzuki has pursued listening as a practice. In the 1970s he created and began performing on a number of original instruments, including the echo instrument Analapos. In 1988 he performed his piece Space in the Sun, which involved purifying his ears for twenty four hours in nature on the meridian line that runs through Amino, Kyoto. In 1996, he began his “oto da te” project where he seeks out echo points in the urban environment. Has performed and exhibited at many venues and music festivals around the world, including Documenta8 (Germany,1987), the British Museum (2002), Musée Zadkine (France, 2004), Kunstmuseum Bonn (Germany, 2018), Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo(Tokyo, 2019), etc.

Born in Okinawa in 1979, Shun Yonaha earned a teaching license after graduating from the Faculty of Science at Ibaraki University in 2003. During his studies, he developed a deep passion for folkloric music and spent a year in Bolivia immersing himself in traditional South American music. Upon returning to Japan, he experienced a period of psychological difficulty, during which he spent 10 years compiling his thoughts into what he calls his “Brain Notes.” In 2013, he began creating art in earnest, developing an improvisational style that fuses text and imagery. To date, he has produced over 10,000 works. In 2021, one of his pieces was acquired by the Centre Pompidou (the national museum for modern art of France).
