Noémi Büchi
Noémi Büchi is a Swiss/French composer and sound artist that explores the potential of cross-genre musical structures. Her music is defined by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstraction. She contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation. Her musical work moves in the fields of electroacoustic composition, live performances, audiovisual shows, music for film, music for contemporary dance, music for installations, music for theater and for ensemble or orchestral works. She holds a Master’s degree in Electroacoustic Composition from the Univerity of the arts in Zurich and a Bachelor’s degree in Musicology and German Literature/Linguistic from the University of Zurich.
She currently lives and works between Basel, Zürich and Paris.

MUTEK.JP festival
A Four-Day Journey Through Digital Creativity in Tokyo
Since 2016, MUTEK.JP festival has stood as a central platform for electronic music and digital creativity in Tokyo, where experimentation, technology, and cultural exchange constantly intersect. What began as an ambitious step in connecting the City with MUTEK’s global network has grown into a vital meeting point for artists, thinkers, and audiences from Japan and across the globe.
Through performances, talks, and encounters that cross disciplines and generations, MUTEK.JP has cultivated a space rooted in curiosity and innovation, where emerging voices share the stage with established pioneers. It has become more than a festival: a community shaped by the belief that art and technology can open new ways of experiencing the world.
MUTEK.JP Edition 10 brings together a diverse lineup of 30+ artists from around the world, converging in Shibuya, Tokyo’s vibrant hub of creativity, nightlife, and innovation. Over four days of performances, and professional discussions, we celebrate a decade of exploration, experimentation, and community building in Japan’s electronic music and digital art scene.
Dates: From Thursday, November 20 to Sunday, November 23, 2025.
