Kita Kouhei - Endless Cycle of Rebirth (2015)

This is the debut album from kita kouhei residing in Kyoto prefecture, Japan. He is a trained drummer and pianist, with a background of black music, and “endless cycle of rebirth” expresses these versatile skills and talent as a musician. The album is a voyage through time and space flowing from the past to the present, and onto the future involving kouhei’s personal emotions. Just as like the artwork of this album which he made by himself, his compositions are like abstract paintings with beautiful tones made up of collages of daily sounds,noise and nature sounds, with rich textures. But the output isn’t experimental as you think, as his overwhelming beat making is present througout. Also features guest vocalist Naoko Takayama (Carneiro).
