MUTEK.JP 2026 — A Festival of Electronic Music and Digital Creativity

Four days bringing together more than 25 artists and acts from Japan and around the world at MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, the new cultural hub within TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY. Experience groundbreaking performances where sound, visuals, and technology converge.

Entering its 11th year, MUTEK.JP presents “New Cycle!” as this year’s theme, marking the beginning of a new creative cycle for the festival’s next decade through cutting-edge audiovisual performances, electronic music, digital art, and new media art.

Cutting-edge Sound, Visuals & Technology

The program features Max Cooper with his 3D/AV Live show, alongside mouse on the keys, Ryoichi Kurokawa, Hania Rani, Daito Manabe × ELEVENPLAY, and a new project by Patrick Watson.

The lineup also includes audiovisual performances by Robert Lippok & Lucas Gutierrez, Grand River, and NEUROSCAN (Canblaster & Neurotypique).

On the final day, November 23, MUTEK.JP presents the world premiere of PLASTIKMAN | POLYPHONIC FERMENTATION, a special project by Richie Hawtin and Ali M. Demirel. Drawing on Japanese sake culture, this unique audiovisual performance explores the organic world of fermentation through sound and visuals.
