Biographical History

Teiji Ito was a Tokyo-born composer who resided in New York City. His compositional style reflects Japanese, African, and American influences. Ito is known especially for his theater, dance and film music. A percussion performer, he was particularly interested in the use of percussion instruments in various cultures.

Ito composed music for some of the experimental films of his first wife Maya Deren, who died in 1961. Much of his dance and theater music was composed for productions by the Open Eye Company (theatrical troupe) and at the Theater of the Open Eye in New York City.

From the guide to the Teiji Itō collection of noncommercial recordings [sound recording], ca. 1952-1982, (The New York Public Library. Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound.)
