Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese vibraphonist and composer based in Berlin. He first learned to play the drums, followed by the extensive vibraphone training that enabled him to craft and play his own compositions. Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques and theory of composition, he seeks his own vibraphone sound. He might prepare his instrument with strings of bead, strips of foil or similar material. The resulting sounds, akin to distortions, help expand the vibraphone spectrum without eroding the instrument’s intrinsic character or abandoning it altogether.
