Ken ITO and friends are focusing on music making from the fundamentals of human beings', sound's and voices' possibilities. From 1980's, Ken ITO the composer-conductor had continued both the original composition and the performances of classics and classics of contemporary music, on the steadfast basis of scientific researches on physical science, brain physiology-psychology and humanities. It covers wide spectra, from historical fieldwork up to the non-linear analysis of fielddynamics. We have utilized every possible and effective means, to approach "long questions" of human music history - and whole history of arts. For these 30 years, Ken ITO had continuously worked, on one hand quite active as composer, as long as conductor, including historical world premieres such as John CAGE's post-humous work "OCEAN" as a collaboration with Merce CUNNINGHAM dance company, Yoritsune MATSUDAIRA's opera "Le dit de GENJI", as long as 3-D performance of whole "Tristan and Isolde" keeping as possible composer's original specification on location and singing directions. The possibility of music is infinite, but we can start "from scratch" "in every instance" " at everywhere". Come and Join us!
