Aki Ito | Music
Aki Ito, a Japanese composer, studied composition and orchestration at CNSM de Paris. Alongside her instrumental creations, her sensitivity and interest directed her from the beginning of her career towards electronic music and new technology.
By pursuing its concept of slowness, she focuses since 2016 on the study of a temporal system inspired by astronomy. She defines slowness as a temporal space that changes slowly and perpetually, where several different periods coexist and influence each other. In this sense, time is relative and interactive for her, which changes according to the points of view.
For the Astérismes project, her role is to design sounds and processes that are both spectacular and inspiring, to suit the different forms, while developing her temporal and compositional system.
