Akio Suzuki & Aki Onda

Legendary Japanese sound artist Akio Suzuki has been performing, building instruments and presenting sound installations for nearly 40 years. His music is simple and can be harnessed and then set free. Aki Onda is an electronic musician, composer and visual artist. Onda was born in Japan and currently resides in New York. He is particularly known for his Cassette memories project - works complied from a 'sound diary' of field recordings collected by himself over the course of two decades. His musical instrument of choice is his walkman.
