Mamoru Okuno
ETUDE FOR EVERYDAY OBJECTS

The word "etude" is often used to refer to short 
musical compositions emphasizing certain aspects 
of the instruments or presenting certain musical 
ideas of the composer in the form of a sketch. mamoru´s
"etude" is a series of works related to everyday 
objects, most of them cheap and easy to find, 
that are transformed into something unexpected by 
means of a simple idea. The original works are based on text, but
various other materials are now introduced.

City University of New York (2001). In 2003, a
