His play "Something That Belongs to You" was performed in Japanese at the Nagoya Institute of Technology as one of NITech's 111th anniversary commemorative events in 2016. The premier performance was preceded by a special lecture by Dr. Hoffmann in person. Something That Belongs to You": This is an autobiographical play by Dr. Hoffmann. In 38 short scenes, there emerges in the play a story of survival in World-War II Ukraine, of struggles to remember and forgive. The underlying themes are of coming to terms with great loss, and of the choices, always there, that human beings must make between good and evil in terrible times. 詩：ロアルド・ホフマン Roald Hoffman 訳：川島慶子　Keiko Kawashima （名古屋工業大学） 朗読：吉田栄作 Eisaku Yoshida 音楽：Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeishi 永井晶子　武石聡 撮影：安田光 照明：杉山泰則 （エスライト） 美術：清水基恵（テレビ朝日クリエイト） イラスト：東裏栄美 Produced by TOWERS Copy right All right reserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1775431601011-POTNUKMEFWJ6MW3X80XX/image-asset.jpeg Videos - NHT Trio @ Stuttgart Jazz Festival Theatrehaus NHT TRIO Shoko Nagai ( Compositions, Piano/ electronics) Gregor Huebner ( Compositions, violin/ electronics) Satoshi Takeishi ( Compositions, drums) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1789447769869-P8I9Q1D7WRN0N6VBCZBW/image-asset.jpeg Videos - GAFU : Composed by Shoko Nagai & video creation Timothy Buckley (IBM alumnus AI/VJ) Gafu : COMPOSED BY SHOKO NAGAI Playing Moog Synth, Japanese Sho, Voice ( except "home" Teiiichi Okano and "Cooking show theme" by Isao Tomita) Video creation by IBM alumnus and AI/VJ designer Timothy Buckley, whose work contributes an interactive visual dimension to the performance image concept by Shoko Nagai.

By stepping on a mortal's shadow, a demon can become a human. And a demon can die. On the other hand, a human whose shadow has been stepped by a demon becomes a demon. And he or she, now has to find and step on another mortal's shadow... An adventurous sonic risk-taker, composer, and pianist, Shoko Nagai creates a new ensemble project that explores the mystery and the wonder of what lies at the essence of contemporary music in tAKE'N sHADOWS (KAGEFUMI). From the elements from contemporary western music and experimental electronic music, Nagai has crafted a white-hot sound ? searing and abstract ? that surrenders to the ebb and flow of time, evoking another realm, a time and a place, and evokes a dramatic new tale of suspense and intrigue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1789448064117-O5D4WKUUDMF09CYZRGDT/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Shoko Nagai's album Forbidden Flowers - Hello Universe https://infrequentseams.bandcamp.com/track/forbidden-flowers Free NYC Public access of Shoko Nagai's New Release "Forbidden Flowers".

They performed together at New York institutions like Spectrum, Shape Shifter Lab, Scholes Studio, National Sawdust and the Progressive Chamber Music Festival. The 3 instrumentalist on the violin, the piano and percussion combined with electronic effects create a new sound through a mixture of written scores, improvisation and sound painting. Between all styles of music, there is a delicate balance between the prescribed material and spontaneity. Even a highly complicated original, written down with extreme precision, requires the soul and energy of the artist in order to give breath and space to the composition in concert. The slightest musical impulse can enliven a composition and thus raise it to a higher level. It’s this mystical gray musical area, Nagai/Huebner/Takeshi move with their trio and follow an unmistakably clear path. Starting from a traditional model, the existing is redefined and remodeled, as it could be. All three see performing as composers and instrumentalists. Nagai/Huebner/Satoshi take the prescribed material very seriously, but are ready to improvise impulsively and forget everything in the moment and let intuition lead the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1709917333372-9XFOIY28Z51KN7BGS91W/image-asset.jpeg Photos - Isle Of Klezbos Eve Siclar, Pam Freaming, Debra Kraisberg, Shoko Nagai, Saskia Lane, Missy Forgaty Photo by Albie Michel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1730963774743-TLP12943E227L7JCT865/image-asset.jpeg Photos - Galaxy Art Festival 2024 in Sado Japan Theater performance lead by film director John Williams with actor, Traditional Jooruri Puppeteers Yuko Tokugawa and Keiko Tokugawa -Dance Live Music Shoko Nagai/ Satoshi Takeishi Photo Credit by Megumi Sekine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1744767224258-66JLYC0R50F9R0X1XFEY/image-asset.jpeg Photos - Dark Circuits Quartet Hans Tammen ( Buchula) Shoko Nagai ( moog) Luke Dubois (Serge) Alex Zhu ( Synthi) @ Flux Factory 4 14 25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1466055423466-4J871MVBABVADX9FIACQ/Italy+theater+gig5.jpg Photos - Napoli Theater Festival Writer: MAURIZIO DE GIOVANNI Actor: ANDREA RENZI MARCO CAPPELLI E ACOUSTIC TRIO Guitar: MARCO CAPPELLI Bass: KEN FILIANO PERCUSSIONI: SATOSHI TAKEISHI SPECIAL GUEST: SHOKO NAGAI, ACCORDION, LIVE ELECTRONICS Place: TEATRO GARIBALDI DI PALERMO ALLA KALSA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1775922775115-7NQ2UUBR45XFZHR1LEY2/image-asset.jpeg Photos - Joes Pub Isle Of Klezbos Show Photo by Ellen Qbert playa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/1781708811447-X42MGWO732M46DMEPQ7F/image-asset.jpeg Photos - Tribute Roly Matlon's concert June 11th @ Bnai Jeshurum History of Bnai Jeshurum last Rabbi Roly Marlon’s concert.

Make it stand out DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE BY TED PANKEN Virtuosic complexity marked an accomplished, breathe-as-onethier magical duo by Vortex, as pianist-synthesist Shoko Nagai and the individualistic drummer Satoshi Takeishi, her spouse of 20 years, call their electro-acoustic project. Nagai introduced their duo — dedicated to musicians who had recently transitioned — with rubato atonal passages complemented by Takeishi’s fragmented xylophone rhythms, before transitioning to a stormy march-like motif that metrically modulated several times. They achieved Cecil Taylor-Aki Takase energy levels, then made their way home with delicate, informed sound-painting, finally reaching the gentle introduction. Nagai began the second duo — provoked by her first-ever poem, written for M³’s Anthology — with electronic tintinnabulations, maneuvered into a repetitive atonal line, and then stated brisk, urgent variations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d1d91fe4b0f70dee8c2add/24ca30a2-f62b-46db-ad8b-7d1b4540e987/ASCAP+Honorarium+-+Composers+Now+Festival+2025.jpg Reviews -
