about

The album 'Ray of Light' is a meditative piece, a background sound, ambient in the true sense of the term. It focuses on creating a mood, an atmosphere, through guitar loop and timbral qualities. Although the piece tells a specific story, it is mainly based on guitar improvisation and subtle ambient. Its volume meander slowly, providing gradual movements. It shows a strange stillness, a tranquility that to the listener, is almost tangible. It's also about listening to yourself, an introspection, where time, place, sound and self, fuse into one.

Saito Koji, born in 1978, is a musician currently living in Fukushima city, Fukushima prefecture. He played in several bands, then went solo in 2003 after being influenced by Otomo Yoshihide’s live performances, Derek Bailey’s CDs, and Kaoru Abe’s videos. Saito is engaged in the pursuit of an original kind of minimalism/improvisation using guitars, keyboards, effects and field recordings. Since 2004 Koji has released works on the labels Magic Book Records, Kesh Recordings and Gears of Sand Recordings, SEM Label, Resting Bell, Somehow Recordings, etc.
