一楽儀光Yoshimitsu Ichiraku
根據鼓而建立的電腦控制系統「DoraVideo」是身為鼓手的一樂儀光所創造的獨奏表演。2012年,因長期擔任鼓手造成腰痛而引退的他,隨著之後電子公司tkrworks長期開發的音樂影像即時REMIX樂器「DORAnome」出現而再度展開音樂生涯。不像一般樂器製作的音樂,他依據自身的理念創造出獨一無二的音樂。
藉著「DoraVideo」,一樂儀光在全世界的搖滾音樂祭、爵士音樂祭、媒體藝術祭、電影節、藝術節等活動受到許多好評。2005年在「ARS Electronica」得到當年數位音樂部門的榮譽提名Honorary Mention大賞。2007年6月接受藝術界最高榮譽威尼斯雙年展邀請,2008年8月亦代表日本出席西班牙世界博覽會。2009年曾參與知名節目「SMAP×SMAP」演出。在知性,甚至嚴謹的作品充斥媒體藝術界的同時,他的作品卻中包含著通俗,粗野,甚至低級的娛樂性。目前他正透過Vestaxs公司及CACIO公司等提供的器材製作完成度極高的「DORAnome3」。
