Miyama McQuee-Tokita
Tokyo-based koto and bass koto player Miyama McQueen-Tokita’s practice re-imagines the vocabulary and tradition of Japanese music in the contemporary context of improvisation and experimental music. With the occasional addition of voice and electronics, Miyama’s work as a composer and interpreter speaks beyond her foundation in hogaku and experimental music, with influences ranging from Kazue Sawai to Meredith Monk. As a featured soloist and collaborator with ensembles such as the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Australian Art Orchestra, Miyama’s ability to exist in multiple musical worlds is a defining aspect of her musical identity.
 
Akira Sakata
Born in 1945 in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, Akira Sakata graduated from Hiroshima University's Department of Fisheries. He joined the Yosuke Yamashita Trio in 1972, and from 1980, formed "Wha ha ha" and "SAKATA TRIO," going independent starting with a European tour. Since then, has repeatedly formed and disbanded various groups, touring around the world doing this and that, up to the present day. Currently, he is active with groups including "ARASHI," "Bonjintan," "Torai Jin," "Suishō no Ei," and "COCODA," and is launching a new project, "SOS," this spring. Has released numerous works, including his latest, In a Sentimental Mood / Akira Sakata SOS. His writings include Shisetsu Mijinko Taizen (with accompanying CD Umi), published by Shobunsha. He serves as a visiting professor at the Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, School of Life Sciences, and at Hiroshima University's Graduate School of Biosphere Science.
