Nina Fukuoka

In this episode, I chat with Ms. Nina Fukuoka. Ms. Fukuoka is a Japanese and Polish composer and performer based in New York City. Her work brings together instrumental and computer music with multimedia art, exploring the intersections of sound, technology, and identity. Drawing from horror aesthetics, video games, and feminist scholarship, she examines the contemporary world through layers of cultural and emotional meaning. Her compositions have been presented at major festivals across Europe, North America, and Japan, and performed by ensembles such as the International Contemporary Ensemble, Mivos Quartet, and Talea Ensemble. A doctoral graduate of Columbia University, Nina continues to create cross-disciplinary projects and performs on shō with the Columbia Gagaku Ensemble.website: https://ninafukuoka.com/
