Kitaro brings Music from Nature

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:15:47 +0000

Kitaro,Japanese composer and multi-instrumentalist, has gifted us highly melodic synthesizer music often associated with the new-age. He says of teaching himself, “I never had education in music, I just learned to trust my ears and my feelings.” He gives credit for his creations to a power beyond himself. “This music is not from my mind,” he said. “It is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing. Sometimes I wonder. I never practice. I don’t read or write music, but my fingers move. I wonder, ‘Who’s song is this?’ I write my songs, but they are not my songs.”

Kitaro new age music is awe inspiring by gently bringing the peace of mind with nature’s music. He himself said “Nature inspires me. I am only a messenger…To me, some songs are like clouds, some are like water”. One such beautiful track that says more of nature is below.

Kitaro’s profound Music matures with his Age | Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai, Volume 3

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 19:19:24 +0000

Kitaro, a Japanese keyboardist and a founding architect of new age music, is successful in his latest album Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai, Volume 3 which is Kitaro’s 13th Grammy nomination. He gained global acclaim for the past three decades for his mesmerizing music realm. In all his albums we find spirituality and peace pervade to take us yonder land of meditation.

Inspiration for Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai, Volume 3 is taken from the pilgrimage of a Buddhist monk Ku-kai to the 88 sacred temples in Shikoku Island. The bells fuse with drums & flute at many instance of the album to bring incredible and typical new age effect. After listing to this album one could say Kitaro’s profound music matures with his age. The more I hear him the more I love him. Kitaro who never had much formal training once said “It is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing.”

‘Crystal Winds’, ‘Winds Blow over the Hill’ and ‘Circle Dance’ are my favorites in this 8 track album. I still believe I can hear the flowing ocean and soothing bells of Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai.
