Eisuke Yanagisawa

Field recordist, film maker, researcher, born in 1981, now he lives in Kyoto, Japan. He learned about audio editing and processing by himself and started playing sounds with various instruments and computer in his bachelor days. In 2004 he started field recording. Until now he mainly recorded natural and environmental sounds in Kyoto and southeast asian countries. He pays attention to how the tiny, hidden, meaningless sounds are integrated with louder, meaningful, simbolic sounds and how the former sounds gets the melody (or meaning). He is also keen on recording inaudible sounds such as ultrasonic sounds, underwater sounds, and vibration of the objects. He studies about gong culture of ethnic minorities in the central highlands of Vietnam as a Ph.D candidate and also started making anthropological films and "Visual Soundscape" films which focus on sounds and consciousness.
