Tetsuya Umeda

Altering fans, televisions, and other everyday appliances, converting 
their functions into something utterly different, UMEDA creates 
objets freed from their original meanings. His works, created to suit 
the spaces in which they will be installed, use utterly familiar, 
commonplace phenomena, channeled through his clever handiness and 
unique spatial sensibility, to create mysterious, seemingly 
impossible sensations. They thereby free one from rigid perceptions 
constrained by preconceived ideas.

Tetsuya Umeda is an artist currently working in Osaka, Japan. He has 
done several sound installation projects and performance that 
generates site-specific soundscape using minimal function of electric 
circuit/system and simple physical phenomena. Umeda has been 
performed in Festival Beyond Innocence, an experimental music 
festival in Japan, since 2002. In 2006, he performed in 
internationally acclaimed underground music event, INSTAL, in 
Scotland, UK. He also has been participated installation/exhibition 
project; in 2006, he participated the London-based residency program, 
The Listening Project. in 2007, participated the exhibition program, 
Sound Effect Seoul, and stayed in San Francisco for one month for his 
Waitool Sounds project.
