Tomoko Hojo

Tomoko Hojo (°1988, JP) is a sound artist based in Japan. She listens to the hidden voices in history and makes them audible in different ways, working at the intersection between sound, music and performance. Next to her own work, she has an ongoing collaborative project with Swiss sound artist Rahel Kraft seeking out hidden, faint and intimate sounds in places that are often inaudible to people. Tomoko was also part of the Tokyo-based Ensemble for Experimental Music and Theater, which explores questions around theatre and notation, propounded by John Cage.

Invisible presences and forgotten memories lingering in a liminal field are evoked through the ephemeral mediums of breath and wind. Subtle sounds—voices, insect calls, bells, chanting and instruments made from the site’s soil and wind — unfold as a ritual to summon what once was, or may soon vanish.

The musical instruments were made in collaboration with Kosi Hidama.
