FUJI||||||||||TA (Fujita Yosuke) is a Sound Artist living in Japan. His unique practice utilizes various
natural phenomena that respond to his interest in wanting to hear unheard sounds
and unknown sounds. Instead of playing a composed piece of music, he aims to
go as far as possible towards his own unknown state of being, with an emphasis
on observing the sound closely.
In 2009 Fujita hand fabricated a Pipe Organ that has only 11 pipes and no
keyboard. Fujita conceived and built it using his imagination, without any prior or
specialized knowledge. The air pump (called “FUIGO”) which is kept moving by
the left hand when playing, and is based on associations with an ancient
blacksmith. This unique instrument is too delicate in its nature to be played
properly without a great deal of experimentation and trial and error. Fujita has
spent a long time inventing ways to play it and experimenting with ways to utilise
this instrument in sound systems.
