Japanese artist and composer Meitei has released a new album, named Kofū. It is a really interesting take on traditional Japanese sounds.
As he puts it:
‘Kofū’ allows full immersion into fragments of the past without the trappings of nostalgia.
A sample:
Lots of experimentation, with hip-hop rhythms and samples from old Japanese music, ambient sounds, vocal samples from old Japan, ephemeral piano chords. Sounds like an odd combination of things, but it works. Recommended.
