SEIGO AOYAMA Prelude For The Spring DL Audiobulb AB118

 

Seigo Aoyama is a musician/composer/sound designer residing in Tokyo. He had been playing the piano since his childhood and started his career in music from 20 years old playing piano & keyboards in pop, rock and jazz groups. During his career, he studied classical/modern music with a focus on 20th century composers (Debussy, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Schaeffer, Cage, and Reich for instance). In 2014 he started incorporating field recording into his contemporary, ambient or experimental music. He has released 4 albums and composed music for other performers.

His new album, released with Audiobulb is a beautiful combination of different elements and influences. It stands on the verge of being experimental and more tonal and harmonic. It has this unique verse to it that you can use to contemplate as a stanza of a poetry on one hand and a good intellectual challenge.

Colliding aspects of European and American new music influences with what is best in Eastern sensitivity and understanding it in a way, a highly responsive artist can do, helps to appreciate this album in its full entirety. 

Its melancholic and poetic character give lots to ponder on and think of a special niche that this music creates.
