Shuta Hasunuma

Born in 1983 in Tokyo.

In addition to releasing his own recordings and organizing and performing with the Shuta Hasunuma Philharmonic Orchestra both in Japan and abroad, he has collaborated in genres across the performing arts, including film, theater, dance, and musical production. Most recently, he has been applying musical composition techniques to a variety of media to present video, sound, sculpture, and installation works in both solo exhibitions and projects. His most recent 6 CD set albums “windandwindows” (2018), and the theater piece “TIME,” recorded at the Kanagawa Arts Theater (KAAT).

Hasunuma also planned and organized the “Music Today” concert series. In 2014, he went to the United States on a grant from the Asian Cultural Council. A list of selected solo exhibitions includes: “compositions : rhythm” (2016) at the Spiral Garden in Tokyo; “compositions” in 2017 at the Beijing Culture and Art Center in China, as part of a Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs cultural exchange; and his first solo exhibition in the United States, “Compositions” was held at Pioneer Works in New York in 2018.
