"I am searching for a new form of Japanese spiritual culture and music, one through which I can remain true to myself as well as to my origins. We need to examine the Western world again, more carefully, in order to become objective about and truly get to know our own selves."
Toshio Hosokawa
Toshio Hosokawa, Japan's best known living composer explores the boundaries between cultures. His music draws on affinities and contrasts between Western avant-garde and traditional Japanese culture, and is influenced by the static structures of the Gagaku music of the Japanese court. Nature in its many forms and characterised by its transience can often be found at the centre of his works. "Transience is beautiful", says Hosokawa, who describes his musical language with analogy to the Buddhist idea of balance between life and death: "The tone comes from silence, it lives, it returns to silence."
Born in Hiroshima in 1955, Toshio Hosokawa came to Berlin in 1976 to study composition with Isang Yun. He continued his studies with Klaus Huber and Brian Ferneyhough. After initially orienting his work toward the Western avant-garde, he began to explore new musical terrain between East and West.
