Koji Ueno, who created a kind of very impressive Newwave arvant-garde music in the 1980s with Gernica, has since kept his unique style while also doing many other things in classical music, jazz, and film and commercial soundtracks.
Now, Koji Ueno called both a demonic genius and a true genius-presents "techno-pop," a genre no one has attempted before, through his new group, Intonarumori.
This is their first release. It is called "Pastorale urbaine."
The first song, 'Nocturne,' is surprising because it's beautiful and has a pop feel, and even it was made using a method called the twelve-tone technique.
The second track, 'Valse,' expresses its lively chorus and positive outlook in a very fast triple meter.
Finally, the last chapter, 'Scene de Ballet,' uses music from the orchestra and has many surprising changes, like watching a stage play.
The singing and analog synth sounds that create this 3D world in Ueno Koji's complex compositions are by Miyuki Kido of eureka!, who became well-known both in Japan and abroad in the late 1990s through their own hard work.
This suit leaps over all societal frameworks and conventions, simply moving in the direction they desire, becoming a techno-pop suite unlike anything heard before.
