Takumi Harada

Takumi Harada is an artist and composer based in Tokyo. He transferred into the Sonology Department at Kunitachi College of Music in 2025, where he is now in his fourth year. His work centres on electroacoustic sound. He treats the acoustics and environment of the place where a piece is played, and the conditions of being present there, as material of the work itself, aiming to create occasions in which the act of listening is perceived anew. Alongside composition he works with text and video, presents installations that bring them together, and writes tanka poetry.
He began making work in earnest in 2025, and the following year was a prizewinner in both categories A and B of the Concours de Composition Acousmatique petites formes 2026 (Paris). In the same year, his works were selected for the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC, Hamburg), the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), and the Seoul International Computer Music Festival.
