Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Miya Masaoka Miya Masaoka (born ) is a musician and composer who performs on the Japanese zither-like instrument the koto , often augmenting it with string preperations and electronic triggers (as in her "Koto Monster", where additional laser beam "strings" hover over the koto). She is known for creative, improvisational technique, and a sensibility that combines experimental Western approaches with the tradition of the koto. Her compositions have included works for large ensembles sometimes with unusual sound sources such as hives of bees, or the amplified sounds of human bodies (brain waves, heart beat, etc). One notable piece was performed outdoors in a plaza on San Francisco 's sometimes unsavory Market Street, utilizing an ensemble of dozens of musicians, a pair of male and female exotic dancers, and taped interviews with sex workers: "What's the Difference Between Stripping and Playing the Violin?" An impressive blend of musical composition, and site-specific conceptual art. She has also done performance art utilizing insects (madagascar beetles, bees) crawling across her body (references to the

Listen to .mp3 [Requires Quicktime plugin] Listen to .ra [Requires Real Player and fast connection] Air Detritus is derived from sounds that were collected from the air and water detritus of Central Park, New York. Sounds were collected via a 2-way radio submerged in a pond, and on land. The act of recycling materials into a new piece, and re-using objects and sound fragments seems a way to re-imagine the world, a symbolic treatment that enacts the idea of sustainability as an elusive but critical goal of consuming fewer materials. As a consumer working with digital tools, I have accumulated many old monitors, hard drives, cords, and interfaces that are quickly obsolete. The molded plastic and metal have a perverse dialectical relationship to the data of ones and zeros that are transported and stored. This piece is a moment of reflection upon these relationships, and our relationship to the world. - Miya Masaoka Miya Masaoka is a classically trained musician, composer and sound/ installation artist. She has created works for solo koto, laser interfaces, laptop and video. She has also made works for sculpture installations and written scores for ensembles, chamber orchestra and mixed choirs. In her pieces, she often works with the sonification of data, and maps the behavior of brain activity, plants and insect movement to sound. Read an interview with Miya on

Miya Masaoka Tradition meets Innovation New Pieces Unveiled April/May 2004 > Miya Masaoka Miya Masaoka Tradition meets Innovation Miya Masaoka, musician, composer and performance artist has created works for koto in the traditional and not so traditional form. The koto is a Japanese instrument with moveable frets in the long zither family of Asian instruments. Its evolution reflects the continuum of change through the epochs of Japanese history, and includes ritual, sacred and secular folk and court forms. The full name, kami no nori koto, means literally, "Oracle of the gods" and was used in Shinto practices that continue in modern Japan. It is made of the rather soft kiri wood, and is over six feet long. The length of the vibrating part of the strings is determined by the placement of the moveable bridges (ji), each string having one bridge. Different placement of the ji produce different tunings. There are some 200 scales in Japanese music. The strings are plucked with ivory plectra (tsume) of varying shape. Miya Masaoka performs on the 17, 21 and 25 string koto. Her 25 string koto was made for her by Takashi Nakaji, and she is one of the few performers on this instrument.
