Nobuo Kubota is a multimedia artist born in Vancouver, BC. Much of his work is involved with installations, music, and sound. In the early 80’s Kubota was introduced to sound poetry by the legendary Four Horsemen. His vocal work is grounded in sound poetry, free jazz improvisation, and Buddhist chanting. He has been performing as a solo vocalist locally and in Europe for over 30 years. As an extension to his vocal work, he also works with visual sound poetry, exploring the strategy of "intermedia". In 2010, Kubota received a Governor General Award for his contribution to the Visual Arts.
