Steven Kazuo Takasugi was born in 1960 in Los Angeles. His primary compositional interests lead to a re-examination of instruments—Western, “Non-Western,” technological, makeshift and invented—informed by deconstructive analyses of assumptions embedded in traditional or experimental practices, as well as scientific, socio-political, or religious-aesthetic pretense, as these pervade compositional and artistic thinking of musical material, time, and space.
