about
Steven Kazuo Takasugi was born in 1960 in Los Angeles. His primary compositional interests lead to a re-examination of instruments—Western, “Non-Western,” technological, makeshift and invented—informed by deconstructive analyses of assumptions embedded in traditional or experimental practices, as well as scientific, socio-political, or religious-aesthetic pretense, as these pervade compositional and artistic thinking of musical material, time, and space. More recently, his work has turned to literary texts, recitation, and musical-theatrical contexts. From these “excavations” of lodged assumptions come the energies for his work. This includes a cycle entitled Vers une myopie musicale (Mudai, Untitled, and Iridescent Uncertainty), Jargon of Nothingness, Strange Autumn based on poems by Wieland Hoban, for multi-channel spatialization and real-time performance, and Das Fliegenpapier / The Flypaper based on the prose piece by Robert Musil.
