Takuro Oshima
Japan
Takuro Oshima (b. 1992, Kyoto, Japan) calls himself a sound player who creates works that merge engineering and sonic experimentation. Drawing from his background in engineering, Oshima develops sound devices that explore the concept of “noise” as a reflection of uncontrollable situations. He considers his own stuttering as “noise”, presenting works that celebrate unpredictability and challenge societal norms of communication and tolerance. Through these playful performances, Oshima aims to “massage” societal intolerance.
Recent works include KAKKIN, a project that combines a skateboard and an electric guitar, allowing the performer to “play” the shape of the city. His works often focus on interactive sound performances and DIY acoustic tools, engaging both the audience and their surrounding environments.
Oshima holds a degree in Electronic and Mechanical Engineering from Suzuka National College of Technology and a Master’s degree in Media Creation from the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS).
