Keigo Yoshida: Audio-Visual Artist and Researcher

Keigo Yoshida is a Tokyo-based artist and scientist who operates at the cutting edge of music neuroscience and computer science. Currently affiliated with the Center for Music Neuroscience at the Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keigo Yoshida investigates the relationship between the human brain and musical experience through the lens of machine learning and data-driven art. His multidisciplinary approach translates complex scientific insights into evocative artistic expressions, ranging from audio-visual (A/V) performances to large-scale installations and original musical compositions. One of his most notable contributions to the field is the project 'liberated frequencies,' an A/V performance and installation developed in collaboration with METI and Rhizomatiks, which utilizes real-time EEG data to influence generative soundscapes. Keigo Yoshida's work has gained significant international recognition, with performances of 'Propagation' and 'Mineral Neurons' at Sónar+D 2025. His academic and creative excellence is further evidenced by receiving the Daito Manabe Grand Prize for the 'Artificial Heart Brain' project and presenting research at prestigious global forums like The Neurosciences and Music conference in Helsinki. Beyond his research and performance art, Keigo Yoshida is an active figure in the Tokyo music scene, performing as a DJ and VJ at prominent venues such as Zero Tokyo and Spotify O-EAST. By bridging the gap between rigorous scientific inquiry and immersive sensory experiences, Keigo Yoshida continues to redefine the boundaries of contemporary digital media and technological innovation.
