Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese composer from Berlin. Masayoshi first learned how to play the drums, followed by an extensive vibraphone training to create and play his own compositions. Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques and theories of composition, he seeks his own sound of vibraphone and new possibilities from which enchanting pieces of music emerge.

“ "Door de toetsen te beplakken met materialen als folie en metaal, en dankzij zijn niet traditionele speelwijze, geïnspireerd door jazz en elektronische muziek, verkent hij onbekende muzikale wateren." “
