Born in Aichi, Japan​, HOJO graduated from the Graduate School of Music, Tokyo University of the Arts, and the London College of Communication, MA Sound Arts. With experimental music and sound art at the core of her practice, she creates cross-disciplinary works through research. In recent years, she has focused on voices that have been silenced in history/archives, exploring their backgrounds, and imagining and re-creating what has not been recorded. Major activities include her solo exhibition as a composer at “Music From Japan Festival 2021” (Scandinavia House, USA), and the sound installation Whiff (Saitama Triennale 2020, Saitama) in 2020. She also works as “Hojo+Kraft” with Rahel KRAFT, a musician and artist from Switzerland.
