Composer & Lehrer
|
Kazuo Fukushima was born in Tokyo in 1930. While studying composition on his own, he met Hiroyoshi Suzuki and Toru Takemitsu, and joined the artist group "Jikken Kobo". His unique style combines the ideas of Zen and Noh with Webern-style pointillism in twelve-tone music, and he has produced many works, especially for the flute. His "Ekagras" (57) for flute and piano was highly praised by Stravinsky along with Takemitsu's "Requiem" for strings, and his "Mei" (62) for flute attracted attention at the Darmstadt International Summer School of Contemporary Music, attracting international attention, but since the late 1970s he has shifted his focus to research on traditional Eastern music. He is a professor at Ueno Gakuen University.
