Born in Tokyo 1971, studied musicology at the Kunitachi College of Music, graduating in 1996. During this period he began to play the electronic pieces by John Cage and his own sound performances. Since then he has been creating sound performances, installations and videos. In 2003 Morimoto moved to Berlin, has performed and exhibited in many international festivals including transmediale in Berlin, Experimental Music Festival in Munich. The search for small, differentiated structures and the attempt to discover these random phenomena through and within technological media determine his work. Morimoto has worked with Takehisa Kosugi, Olivier Di Placido, Olaf Hochherz, Ignaz Schick, Luciano Maggiore, Crys Cole, Felicity Mangan, Alessandra Eramo, Nicolas Wiese, Seijiro Murayama, Hannes Lingens, Derek Shirley, Eric Wong, Johnny Chang, Mat Pogo, Katsura Yamauchi, Makoto Oshiro, Yan Jun, Mario de Vega, Liz Allbee and many more. Morimoto runs the label emitter micro with Kris Limbach and Pierce Warnecke and is the curator of the concert series Experimentik at Tik in Berlin.
