Biographies
Takuto Fukuda (b.1984/Japan) is a composer, sound artist and gestural controller performer. He has been interested in the ambiguity of performer’s presence in the age of mixed reality. His pieces have been prized at several competitions such as the ICU Composers Contest(Ukraine), ISMIR2020(Canada), IEMC2020(China), CCMC 2011(Japan) and Musica Nova 2010(Czech). He has been pursuing his D.Mus in composition at McGill University with Sean Ferguson.
Stuart Jackson is a percussionist and uilleann piper from Virginia. His interest in transcription has led to work on developing unique versions of 20th century electroacoustic works from composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, and Pierre Boulez, as a way of developing a creative practice for exploring sound. This work has functioned as an outlet for improvisation with a variety of media such as: homemade and commercial electronic devices, prepared piano, short-wave radios, found and constructed percussion instruments/objects, and more. His work and performances have been presented at venues such as Pioneer Works in NYC, Wesleyan University, Connecticut College, the Haven in Virginia, the Workshop in Pennsylvania, and many others. He has also performed in film and theatre settings, working with the Soho Rep Theatre and the Wordless Music Orchestra. Stuart is currently a Tomlinson Fellow at McGill University, where he studies percussion with Fabrice Marandola.
