Artist / Programmer / Composer

Born in Tokyo in 1976, Daito Manabe studied mathematics at Tokyo University of Science, where he became interested in algorithmic and generative approaches to music inspired by the composer Iannis Xenakis.

In 2006 he founded Rhizomatiks and has since developed projects that combine technology, music, visual media, and physical expression. He has collaborated with artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto and Björk, and his work has been presented at festivals such as Sónar and MUTEK.

Manabe co‑founded Sonic Planet LTD. in London with Sinan Bokesoy to develop experimental software and generative audio tools.

He currently leads Studio Daito Manabe, a compact studio combining human specialists and AI driven production pipelines for rapid research and creative experimentation.
