Mii Kyoichiro / 御井 響一朗
作曲家プロフィール：Mii Kyoichiro (御井 響一朗)
Mii Kyoichiro is a composer who approaches sound as a physical and human phenomenon, focusing on “voice,” “breath,” and structural clarity. Through lucid formal structures and corporeal musical gestures, his music explores the relationship between the body and time.
He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Composition at Tokyo College of Music. He also conducted graduate research in spatial analysis at the University of Tokyo, transforming his knowledge of statistics and structural analysis into an original compositional language that crosses logic and acoustics.
His String Quartet, Adagio et Fugue — Homage to Teruyuki Noda, was selected as Japan’s representative work for the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) World New Music Days 2026 in Romania. His chamber works have been performed internationally, including at the Asia Music Festival 2025.
In recent years, he has received the Absolute Winner and Own Composition Absolute Winner awards in the composition division of the Classical Stars International Music Competition. He has also received top awards in the Brahms International Competition, the Haydn International Competition, and the All Japan Composers Competition, as well as Platinum Awards in the Mozart International Competition and the Leuven International Music Competition, and a Gold Award in the Saint-Saëns International Music Competition. His song cycle received Second Prize at the Franz Schubert International Composition Competition 2026, further demonstrating the effectiveness of his compositional language in the field of vocal music.
Drawing on his experience as a choral and orchestral performer, he values performability, richness of sound, and lasting artistic value alongside stylistic originality. His works range from unaccompanied choral music and chamber music to wind band and orchestral music, and are performed in Japan and abroad.
He is a member of the Japan Society for Contemporary Music (JSCM), the Japan Federation of Composers (JFC), and the Tokyo International Association of Art.
