Tetsuroh Konishi
Music writer and improvisatore. Member of composer group PORT (Modern/Contemporary/Classical). Substitute teacher for Shibaura Institute of Technology Junior and Senior High School.
Biography
Influenced by his father, he first began listening to jazz during elementary school, taking up the trumpet in the fifth grade and performing with the school band from elementary into senior high school. At around his junior year, he began listening to modern French music and gradually came to hold ardor for contemporary music, embarking on songwriting from there. He studied composition, jazz theory and harmonics at Tokyo Conservatoire Shobi for one year, but due to certain circumstances he quit, later attending a regular university. After that, he took to self-study, primarily using DAWs to compose music.
