Ayaka Matsui
Ayaka is a harmony creator on the piano. Keenly sensitive to emotions in music, combined with pitch-to-color Synesthesia, Ayaka brings colors and sensibility to her musical storytelling. Classically trained as a pianist in Tokyo, Ayaka has journeyed through jazz, rock, funk, pop, metal, experimental and improvisation over the past 30 years. Ayaka translates energy, colors and emotions into harmonies, which serve as a container for stories to flow through the audience. Her collaborative platform Flow in Harmony showcases musical meditation, poetry piano improvisation, and live painting to music improvisation. Her art always pushes the boundaries of existing art mediums to expand sensory experiences.
