Email: Email Hidden ProfileTakayuki RAI was born in Tokyo in 1954. He studied composition with Yoshiro Irino in Japan and Helmut Lachenmann in Germany, and computer music with Paul Berg at the Institute of Sonology in the Netherlands. He worked at the Institute of Sonology as a guest composer in the 1980s. Since 1991 he has been teaching computer music and composition at the Sonology Department, Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo, and since 2006 at the Lancaster University in The United Kingdom In 1981 he started working on real-time sound synthesis techniques, and later on interactive computer music with real-time signal processing in The Netherlands. Since 1991 he has realized various pieces for instruments and live computer systems using Max/ISPW and later Max/MSP. He is also involved in creating interactive multimedia art using a new, specially developed software called 'DIPS' (Digital Image Processing with Sound), of which he has been the project supervisor since 2000. His works have been selected at numerous international competitions, including the Gaudeamus Competition of Composition, the ISCM World Music Days, and the International Computer Music Conference. He also won the premier prizes at the 13th and 17th International Electroacoustic Music Competition Bourges in France, the Irino Composition Prize in Japan, and 1st prize at the NEWCOMP International Computer Music Competition in USA. In 1991 he received the ICMA (International Computer Music Association) Commission Award. Some of his scores are published by DONEMUS in The Netherlands and recordings of his works are included in various CDs released by Wergo, le Chant de Monde, CENTAUR, Digital Art Creation, etc. Additional InformationComposition Awards and Selected Works
