Aether & Brew by Fendoap & Atsuko Hatano

Atsuko Hatano

String player and composer, Atsuko Hatano creates works that explore "Cells Music," a concept in which diverse, vibrant soundscapes are
formed through a combination of string instruments, electronic sounds, environmental sounds, and voices. She has released two works in the Cells Music series, Cells#2 and Cells#5, and is currently working on the third installment.
In live performances, she uses a five-string viola, pedals, and a
computer to craft a layered sonic space in real-time, blending acoustic and electronic elements. Her work continuously pushes the boundaries of traditional music, exploring new possibilities for sound.
Under the alias TRIOLA, she released Scapegoat in 2023 on the
Constructive label (UK) and has also released works on labels such as Important Records (US), Superpang (Italy), and Alien Transistor
(Germany).
Hatano was a member of Jim O'Rourke's band, participating in live performances and albums. In the field of improvisational music, she has collaborated with notable artists such as Tetuzi Akiyama, Satoko Fujii, Akira Sakata, Ken Ikeda, Keiji Haino, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Giovanni Di Domenico, Joe Talia, Pal Yan Lau, and Darlin Grey. She has also composed music for art exhibitions curated by Sebastian Masuda and contributed strings to the soundtrack of the film Drive My Car and the NHK drama Tora ni Tsubasa.
