FUJI||||||||||TA

FUJI||||||||||TA has been played on NTS in shows including Stephen O'Malley: Metta Dôme, featured first on 9 May 2020. Songs played include Sukima, Osoi and Uzu.

FUJI||||||||||TA (藤|||||||||||田) is a Sound Artist living in Japan. He creates his unique sound art and music which takes various natural phenomena that respond to his interest in wanting to hear unheard sounds and noises. In 2009 Fujita hand fabricated an original instrument, a Pipe Organ. It has only 11 pipes and no keyboard. Fujita made it with his own imagination, without any specialized knowledge. It was designed to create a landscape rather than function as a musical instrument. He got the idea from Japanese “gagaku”. The air pump (called “FUIGO”) which is kept moving with the left hand when playing, is based on an ancient blacksmith's. There is only one instrument in the world, so there is no way to play at first. So he had to take the time to find it. The water element (with sound synthesized water tanks) has recently been added on his performance repertoire. The music consists of water sounds from multiple aquariums alongside his pipe organ and his voice. Since 2006 he had many solo performances and collaborative works with musicians as well as choreographers and videographers, such as Boredoms, Akio Suzuki, Open Reel Ensemble, Koichi Makigami, Fuyuki Yamakawa and Yukio Suzuki. He has presented his sound installation works in many contexts: the work “CELL”, which made audible the sounds of black soldier fly maggots buried in dirt, was exhibited in Sapporo International Art Festival 2017 and attracted a great deal of interest in Fujita's artistic practice. A performance with an organ and 4 water tanks were performed in MODE (London) in 2019.
