Ayatake Ezaki
江﨑文武
Musician. Born in Fukuoka City in 1992.
Centered around the piano, the artist creates introspective music that moves between keyboard instruments, electronic sounds, ambient sounds, and the atmosphere of silence. Their interest lies not only in the moment a sound is produced, but also in the spaces that arise before and after, and the lingering presence after the sound fades. Influenced by the concepts of "light" and "space" in Japanese architecture and spatial theory, the artist explores music that arises between sound and silence, memory and landscape, and the individual and space.
He is the host of NHK FM's "Fumitake Ezaki's Borderless Music Dig!!" and also engages in word-based activities related to music, such as writing for the Nishinippon Shimbun's "Otogiki" and a series in NHK Publishing's "Minna no Uta" (Everyone's Song).
On February 25, 2026, they released their second album, "Whispers of Silence".
Ayatake Ezaki is a musician based in Tokyo, Japan. Born in Fukuoka in 1992, he creates introspective music centered around the piano, moving fluidly between keyboards, electronic sound, environmental recordings, and the presence of stillness.
His work is concerned not only with the moment a sound is heard, but also with the space that emerges before and after it, and with the subtle traces that remain after a resonance fades. Influenced by notions of light and ma found in Japanese architecture and spatial theory, Ezaki explores music that arises between sound and stillness, memory and landscape, the individual and the space around them.
He is the host of NHK FM's Ayatake Ezaki's Borderless Music Dig!!, and also writes about music through his columns for Otogiki in The Nishinippon Shimbun and Minna no Uta published by NHK Publishing.
