In 1993, when Endo was still studying conducting and eurythimcs at the Kunitachi college of Music in Tokyo, he co-founded a media art collective "Responsive Environment" with other artists and with architects. Since then, he had been engaged in the various large-scale projects as a composer and a music director until he moved to Europe.
Since 2004, Endo has been engaged in the project Phonethica, an interdisciplinary media art project whose aim is to create the structure for a chain of chance connections between different languages through their respective, but coinciding, sounds. The implication of this project is the possibility of creating an alternative (counter) value system in a world which has become too structured by entrenched and fixed systems of meaning. Taking the diversity of mankind as its starting point, its attempt is to make a new kind of reference tool - one governed more by chance more than by reason. It can be seen as part of a wider world quest for a practical means of survival - through an organic synergy between technology and art.
Endo and his projects have been supported by various institutions and organizations such as; Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan (2002), Hull Time Based Arts, UK (2002), Forum Stadtpark and Graz Kulturhauptstadt Europa, Austria (2003), Sanskriti Foundation, India (2003), CICV Pierre Schaeffer, France (2003), City of Paris and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, France (2004), Pola Art Foundation, Japan (2004) and IPA-Information-Technology Promotion Agency, Japan (2005).
Endo’s works have been presented at many national and international concerts, exhibitions, conferences and festivals.
