A legendary sound artist, Akio Suzuki was born in 1941 in Pyongyang, North Korea, and grew up in Aichi, Japan. After initially studying architecture, his focus turned to sound, creating some of the world’s most otherworldly, yet deeply affective sound works over the last six decades.

For Volume, Akio Suzuki will perform solo as part of the Tones program, as well as with Hiromi Miyakita at the Lawrence English (Room40) co-curated North and South program on Wednesday 4 October.
