1. Scores to Matsumoto Toshio's Films

I’ve been in Oberhausen all this week for the International Short Film Festival. This year the festival organized a series of screenings dedicated to Matsumoto Toshio’s work, which has been a real treat. I’ve only ever seen his work on Ubu, and I reposted some of those videos to A Million Keys a few months back. I love the scores used in his films. I was particularly struck by Yosuke Inagaki’s compositions for Connection and Shift, which were screened in the first program (posted below). I asked Matsumoto about Inagaki during the Q&A session, and he responded that he was a graduate student who studied with him. He mentioned that he was a video artist but did not go into much detail. I’d be interested in knowing more, if anyone reading this could provide some insight into Inagaki’s work.
