AOKI Takamasa is a Kansai legend who carved the early sounds of minimal techno and glitch in Japan. AOKI has been pushing the boundaries of music since his teenage years from his debut album, Silicom, released in 2001 through the independent Japanese electronic label PROGRESSIVE FOrM and later releases on Op.disc and the German imprint Raster-Noton. Some of his recent work includes live performances and music collaborations with Fumitake Tamura producing together under the name Neutral. AOKI's musical path has taken him from Japan to France and even Germany early in his career. Since returning to his roots in Osaka in 2011, AOKI has continued to push creativity within the industry and has developed a strong reputation in the digital arts community. Not only a musician, but AOKI also indulges his passion for photography.
