Ben Nobuto is a British/Japanese composer based in London. Described as ‘utterly contemporary’ (Manchester Collective) and ‘sonically dazzling’ (RPS Awards), his music often explores themes of attention and fragmentation, drawing from internet culture and popular idioms in a playful, ironic and surreal manner. Combining acoustic and electronic sounds, his interest lies in how processes from one can be applied to the other, and the relationship between the ‘human’ and ‘non-human’ in the context of live performance.

Previous collaborations include works for the BBC Proms, Manchester Collective, Nonclassical, National Youth Choir, BBC Singers and Colin Currie Quartet. He is currently working towards a debut album with the support of Sound and Music’s New Voices scheme, which is set to release in 2026.
