Sora is the alias of Takeshi Kurosawa from Kyoto, Japan. (the city of great tradition where all the temples are...) Sora means "sky" and also the key's "G" (so) &"A" (ra) in Japanese. He grew up playing the piano and began to create music by digital samplers from early 90's being influenced by the "intelligent techno" scene lead by the Warp label. He's talent revealed soon by participating in england's General Productions (GPR) label compilation under his real name. After making tracks for several compilations and music for Issey Miyake's new fashion brand Tenalys, this is his first full album "Re.sort". "Re.sort" is a beautiful combination of digital glitches & warm analog sounds and they are constructed by using various techniques like cut-ups, field recordings, sampling from bossa nova & jazz records etc.. His arrangements are really unique and original (almost every loops are slightly different!) but sophisticated keeping the tender & pleasant atmosphere full of heart-warming melodies. Sora will soon be releasing from Greg Davis's Autumn Records (US) label and will appear on the Italian TU M'P3 website.
