Takuto Fukuda
(1984 - )
Takuto Fukuda is a composer, multimedia artist, and gestural controller performer. Viewing art as a medium for insight-sharing, he uses music technologies to question preconceived boundaries of human conditions, such as those between human and non-human, normal and abnormal, and able and disabled. His creative practice spans a wide range of media and styles: from mixed media compositions integrating audiovisual content and live performers, to gamified works enabling real-time, interactive, and chance-based music-making, as well as music for digital musical instruments like the T-Stick.
Fukuda’s work has been recognized internationally with accolades from the Groundswell Composer Competition 2025 (Canada), the ICU International Composers Contest (Ukraine), and ISMIR 2020 (Canada). His compositions have been performed by leading ensembles such as Ensemble Intercontemporain (France), Vertixe Sonora Ensemble (Spain), Ensemble Paramirabo (Canada), and the Ligeti Quartet (UK), and featured at major festivals including Ars Electronica (Austria), ISCM World Music Days (South Korea), and ICMC (Slovenia, Greece, USA), among others.
After receiving a Doctor of Music in Composition from McGill University, he has pursued postdoctoral studies at Concordia University, where he has developed a Mixed Reality system for his opera on neurodiversity. Since September 2025, he has been serving as an Assistant Professor with fixed-term contract at the Electronic Music and Media Arts department at the University of Pécs, Hungary.
