Yukiko Watanabe, a Japanese composer, has a unique approach to music called "Audio-Philosophy," which emphasizes experiencing music through sound rather than language.

She co-represents JWCM, conducting research on various aspects related to female composers, and is involved in curatorial activities with the Cabinet of Curiosities initiative. She is also the founder of Yamabiko Lab, exploring the connection between nature and contemporary music.

Yukiko's education includes mentorship from Keiko Harada, Beat Furrer, and Johannes Schöllhorn, and she has received recognition through awards like the <Ö1 Talentebörse-Kompositionspreise> in Austria, selection for the Asian Composers Showcase in 2015, and the 26th Akutagawa Composition Award.
