Born 1966, Gifu, Japan. Ikeda, working in the U.S.A, has been acclaimed as one of the leading artist is the field of experimental music since his astonishing debut in the mid- 1990s. His quick participation in the new wave of electronic music has brought him wide-spread attention as a sound-artist. The advanced sound technology enables him to manipulate sound waves via the Macintosh Power Book installed in his computer. Using as its basis the variations of tone colors carefully selected ranging from both ultra high and low frequencies, Ikeda’s music is an assemblage of tones and beats of various qualities. It can be described as an undulation of sound pressures, an orchestration of sound waves audiences are yet to experience. Dataplex of 2005 is and example of one of his recent works. In addition, his participation as sound director of Dumb Type, lead by Furuhashi Teiji in 1984, must also be noted. Ikeda currently lives and works in Paris.

1966年出生于日本岐阜。在美国工作的池田，自从在20世纪90年代的首次惊人亮相后，一直被誉为试验音乐的著名艺术家之一。他迅速地参与了电子音乐的新浪潮，并作为一名音乐艺术家得到普遍关注。先进的音乐技术使他可以通过计算机里的Macintosh Power Book熟练地操作声波。通过仔细选择从极高到低频声音自身变化的音色，池田亮司的音乐成为一个不同声音的音调与节拍构成的组合。可以说它是一种声音压力的波动，一种听众尚未体验过的声波配乐。2005年的《多路传送》就是他近期作品的一个范例。此外，他作为Furuhashi Teiji 在1984年领导的Dumb Type （哑无言）舞蹈团的音乐导演也是闻名于世的。池田亮司现在生活和工作在巴黎。
