Motoko Honda
Motoko Honda is a Japanese pianist, composer, and sound artist who has created a distinctive sound through her holistic approach to music, and her exceptional sensitivity in relating to other art forms. Employing a "virtuoso technique paired with her intensely imaginative mind" (L.A. Splash Magazine), and with stylistic influences ranging from jazz, world music to prepared piano with electronics, Motoko's compositions and improvisations are intended to affect the skin, organs and minds of the listeners. Portrayed as a "keyboard alchemist" (L.A. Times), Motoko's performances transport audiences on sonic adventures that transcend the boundaries and conventions of contemporary music.
