Composer Kitaro, with a Golden Globe Award, a Grammy Award and more than three dozen albums to his credit, is revered most for his ability to embody the human spirit in his music. Although he"s been categorized in the New Age genre, Kitaro prefers to call his music simply "spiritual," distinguished by its warmth and emotion as opposed to the New Age emphasis on digital technique over humanness. "Feeling," he says, "is the most important element in my music." Today, Kitaro"s music is increasingly progressive, full of innovative touches. Written, arranged and produced by the musician himself, it is a haunting study in contrasts that takes its cue from nature and spirit. Resonant with exotic Japanese instruments as well as the more familiar guitar, flute and drums, it shimmers one minute and rumbles the next, by turns soothing and stirring, atonal and rhythmic, orchestrally full and dramatic, yet surprisingly intimate, with the ability to transport the listener on a far-reaching musical journey that draws refrains of East and West together.
