Full of Noises presents a short UK tour showcasing installation works and performances by two of Japan’s most innovative sound artists.

Kanta Horio creates performances and installations from physical phenomena including sound, light, magnetism and physical movement. He employs electromagnets, motors, LEDs and circuits to transfer elements of each between one another. He has performed widely both internationally and throughout Japan.

Minoru Sato is a sound artist with an interest in acoustic phenomena, which he explores through installations, multiples, performances and texts. Since 1989, he has presented work under the name “m/s”, establishing his own label “WrK” for creative activities in 1994. He also produces sound works under the name SASW, collaborative works as ASUNA and with his band ‘Il Grande Silenzio’. In the role of curator, he has also organised a number of contemporary art exhibitions and performance events.
