Julian Lennon shares with @BelowZeroBeats Polar 'Pick of the Week':"Kishi Satoru, Freethm"

Sun at 7:51pm

Kishi Satoru, projects his world in sound. A layered, multi-dimensional, evolving and expanding; workings of streamlined melodies. Influenced by the 60's Modal Jazz, his sense of orchestration has the sophistication and subtlety of one of the most aesthetically satisfying periods/mutations in Music.

Combined with the 70's free-wheeling Soul --- Kishi's music is a natural for cross-overs ... Down-Tempo Wired, Chilled and ready to Lounge ... From Tokyo to Rio to Paris or any style-literate capitals in the World --- This music will fly high.
