Kitarō

Kitarō is a Japanese composer and multi-instrumentalist, born Masanori Takahashi in 1953, who builds instrumental new age music around synthesizers blended with acoustic and traditional textures. He won the Grammy for Best New Age Album for Thinking of You in 1999, after a record 16 nominations in that category, and took a Golden Globe for his 1993 score to Oliver Stone's Heaven & Earth. Expect a slow, immersive set suited to listening closely rather than dancing.
