Biografía
- Nobutaka Shomura is an electronic musician, contemporary dancer, and media artist based in Berlin, originally from Japan.His sound design of organic materials represents his interest in the embodiment of fragments of his personal memories, which are amplified by synesthesia and trauma. His experiments of composition with the presence of his vocal performance reinterprets Japanese underground industrial music and European experimental dub music in the context of experimental pop. He expands the perception of musical experiences as his multimedia performances with his physical identities as a contemporary dancer and a martial artist. The entanglement of tangible/intangible media in his performances along with sculpting soundscapes are associated with critical statements of cultural mutations in global capitalism and how presence of minorities can overcome toxic relationships with capitalism.
