Mayako Kubo was born in Kobe, Japan, and studied piano at Osaka College of Music. In 1972 she continued her studies in composition with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati and Erich Urbanner in Vienna, where she composed her first pieces of tape music at the Institute of Electroacoustics and Experimental Music. In the 1980s she studied with Helmut Lachenmann in Hannover and Stuttgart and then musicology with Carl Dahlhaus in Berlin.

In 1989 Kubo became interested in dramaturgy and theatrical performance, and in 1990 moved to Marina, Italy, but then returned to live and work in Berlin in 1994.[1] [2]
