Biography

Born in Kōriyama, Fukushima, he is self-taught as a composer. In 1951 or 1952, together with the composer Tōru Takemitsu and other contemporary artists and musicians, he founded Jikken Kobo (Experimental Workshop), an organization dedicated to the exploration of new directions in the arts, including multimedia. [1] From 1981 to 1994 he was a music researcher and professor at the University of California, San Diego, where he is currently a professor emeritus. He has also served as a guest professor at the Tokyo College of Music since 1981, and a professor for the postgraduate course of the College of Arts at Nihon University since 1993. On March 3, 2007, the Music From Japan ensemble will present a concert entitled "The World of Joji Yuasa" at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, which will be preceded by a pre-concert lecture by the composer. The concert will include early and recent works by the composer, as well as a new composition commissioned by Music From Japan.[2] He lives in Encinitas, San Diego County, California.
