Preludes, Op.1

Evans Koçja - Prelude No.2 (2011)

Masahiro Aogaki (b.1991) is a Japanese composer currently based in Paris. In his recent compositional process, Aogaki has demonstrated a keen interest in redefining the identities and the integrities of instruments, voices, and texts, while also recontextualizing existing musical languages. Inspired by the poetry of Romanian surrealist Ghérasim Luca, he particularly explores the phenomenon of “stuttering” that characterizes Luca’s works, influencing his musical compositions.
In 2017, he obtained his Master’s degree in Composition from Tokyo University of the Arts under Ichiro Nodaira, and later graduated with highest honors unanimously from the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in 2022, where he worked with Stefano Gervasoni, Luis Naón, Yan Maresz, Grégoire Lorieux, Yann Geslin, and Oriol Saladrigues. In 2022-23, Aogaki participated in the IRCAM Cursus led by Pierre Jodlowski and Simone Conforti. His first portrait concert took place in Paris in July 2023, and his piece Dé-monologue –Cinq poèmes de Ghérasim Luca– was nominated for Le Tremplin Musical of the Fondation Prince Pierre de Monaco in the same year. From 2023 to 2025, he was appointed composer-in-residence at the Conservatoire Claude Debussy in Paris’ 17th arrondissement, collaborating with Ensemble Court-circuit.
His works have been performed by various ensembles such as Orchestre de Picardie, Orchestre de Caen, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ensemble Court-circuit, Ensemble Fractales, loadbang, Ensemble Reconsil, Ensemble Eins, Ensemble Muromachi, Ensemble Next, Collettivo_21, and Duo Jeux d’Anches, among others. Aogaki has participated in numerous masterclasses and received guidance from composers and ensembles including Tristan Murail, Allain Gaussin, Philippe Manoury, Thierry De Mey, Jean-Luc Hervé, Marco Momi, Jaime Reis, Sivan Eldar, Joji Yuasa, Misato Mochizuki, and Diotima Quartet.
He has been awarded grants from institutions such as the Meiji Yasuda Cultural Foundation, the Nomura Foundation, the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan, the Kakehashi Foundation, and the Centre International Nadia et Lili Boulanger.
Some of his works are published by BabelScores.
