Ryoko Akama

Ryoko Akama is a Japanese-Korean composer, sound artist and performer based in Huddersfield, UK, where she studied for a PhD at the university. Her work moves between installation, performance and composition, with quiet, minimal music concerned with silence, time and space. She is known for kinetic installations made from domestic appliances and scrap, driven by heat, magnetism and gravity, and for text and alternative scores played by musicians in many countries.
