FUJI||||||||||TA is a Sound Artist living in Japan. FUJI||||||||||TA’s work engages with natural phenomena in his quest to expose unheard sounds and voices of objects. In his first-ever US Tour, Japanese artist FUJI||||||||||TA performs on his hand-made pipe organ, powered by manual bellows and often accompanied by his own throat-singing vocal technique.

His unique practice utilizes various natural phenomena that respond to his interest in wanting to hear unheard sounds and noises. 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. Designed to create a landscape rather than function as a musical instrument, he took the idea from the Japanese “Gagaku”.

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 is a unique instrument that Fujita had to learn to play. Recently, he has added a water element, with sound synthesized water tanks, to his performance repertoire.

The music consists of water sounds from multiple aquariums alongside his pipe organ and his voice.
