Music
Hyperactive with schizophrenic tendencies, Satoru Wono plays with the extremes and has fun blurring the tracks. Swimming against the tide of fashion and movements, he lays claim to the status of an “old-style” composer, although he uses the latest tools to push back creative limits. Without falling into the conceptual trap, his music speaks to the mind as well as the body. With hypnotic cells and rhythmic decortications, Satoru Wono explores the crossover paths that lead to trance.
Born in 1964, Satoru Wono studied composition and, in 1987, was awarded the Japanese Association Prize for Contemporary Music. Now Associate Professor at the Faculty of Plastic Arts at the University of Tama (Tokyo), he teaches music and films. In addition to his work as an essayist, arranger and producer, he pursues a double career as a pop (Sweet Science, El Niño) and experimental artiste (Sonata for Sine Wave and White Noise, Sauvage). Satoru Wono is also the musical director of Maywa Denki.
