About
Like many Asian composers of his generation, Sugiyama combines Eastern and Western influences in his music. At times this is readily apparent, as in the work Kuguhi for 17-string bass koto (a Japanese zither), or quite subtle, as when he used Schumann’s Kinderszenen as the initial material for a complex and richly differentiated viola quartet.
After growing familiar with the Japanese new music scene - and also influencing it himself - it was Sugiyama’s fascination with contemporary Italian composers that led him to travel to Europe. Today he is internationally established as a composer and a conductor.
