Liel Fishbein is a composer, performer, and poet, Based in Japan.

Drumming from the age of 10, during his years at university, he began exploring different ways to make his drums produce long tones and a variety of noise textures, using friction, musical bows, and electronics, shifting the instrument from its original rhythmic role to a melodic instrument and noise generator.

After encountering Zen Buddhism and Taoism, Liel developed a unique compositional language that uses the nature of the sound objects he works with, to embody concepts such as emptiness, negative space, nonattachment, and acceptance, turning the act of listening itself into a meditative practice.
