Atau has carried out research at IRCAM Centre Pompidou, Apple France, and Sony Computer Science Laboratory (CSL) Paris in areas of interactive music, immersive media, network performance, and human-data interaction. He has performed widely in the experimental music scene in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His work has been exhibited at Ars Electronica, SFMOMA and performed at Sonar and WOMAD festivals and released on labels like Superpang, Touch and Subrosa.

Erämaa Trio (Akiko Okawa,Cédric De Bruycker, and Quentin Meurisse)
The Erämaa Trio is a chamber music trio and new music ensemble with Akiko Okawa (大川 彬子, violin/viola), Cédric De Bruycker (clarinet/bass clarinet) and Quentin Meurisse (piano, electronics). They fully dedicate themselves to the contemporary repertoire since 2016. To provide original and daring programs, the trio is willing to incorporate new technologies in their performances, such as Live Electronics and more. In 2017, the Erämaa Trio won first prize at the « Léopold Bellan International Competition » in Paris. They were invited to perform at venues and festivals such as ArsMusica, FestivalLOOP, TheBelgianMusic Days, De Singel, the Royal Academy of Belgium, Unerhörte Musik (DE), Printemps des Humanités (FR), ICMC (KR) and regularly perform in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Luxemburg. Keen to bring a fresh perspective, the trio is resolutely focused on the 20th and 21st-centuries music, embracing the different styles that this encompasses in order to provide audiences with a wide range of creative music diversity. Erämaa never hesitates to reinvent itself by offering new formulas, musical theatre, artistic research, stage and technological innovations (AI, Live Video, Live Electronics). Erämaa in Finnish evokes the desert, a place that has not been touched by humans, where nature is the only ruler. It evokes the desire to explore, discover, and reveal new territories to the world. The trio is supported by the “Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles” and the “Forum de la Création Musicale”. Erämaa was awarded the « Un futur pour la culture 2023″ grant.
