YehSniff

dj sniff (Takuro Mizuta Lippit) is a turntable musician working
in the field of improvised and experimental music. His music focuses
on the live reconstruction and narrativization of the phonographically amplified
- the music, the sound, the technology and the past. To achieve this,
he uses a unique setup of custom hardware and software
along with one turntable and DJ mixer. He hopes he can reflect
his influences from Hip-Hop and Free Jazz not stylistically
but through an exploration of a distinct instrumental voice and practice. He is also a concert/event curator for
electronic music and a researcher of music technology. Since 2005 he has been involved with
STEIM's (Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music, Amsterdam)
R&D lab. From 2007 on, he is STEIM's Artistic Director,
guiding the institution's creative output and representing its activities
through performing and lecturing around the world. In 2010, he released his first solo album "the play-back"
through lebanese label Annihaya.
During the first half of 2011 his 2nd album based on
Evan Parker recordings will be released from Parker's label Psi. He regularly performs in projects with eRikM, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto,
Astro Twin (Ami Yoshida & Utah Kawasaki),
Adachi Tomomi, Keir Neuringer, Raed Yassin, Yutaka Makino.
In the past he has played with Evan Parker, Otomo Yoshihide, Akira Sakata,
