Artist Biography For Radicalfashion

Hirohito Ihara Who Founded Radicalfashion In Kobe Japan Speaks Of The Subconscious Influence Of His Surroundings On His Work. He Links The Sea With His “liking For Some Kind Of Nostalgia”. He Confesses That He Doesn’t Know With Certainty How A Life In Kobe On The Sea And This Nostalgia Are Connected But That “...No One Can Escape The Subconscious Influence Of Their Surroundings And My Liking For Some Kind Of Nostalgia Seems To Me To Have Something To Do With That.” In The Purest Spirit Of Abstract Expression Hirohito Allows The Listeners To Experience In His Debut Full-Length Odori Their Own Emotions Without Any Guiding Elements. Of His Piano Work He Says “I Have Come To Like Gentle Notes Created By Striking Piano Keys Softly Rather Than Clear-Cut Strong Key Touches.” Again He Avoids The “clear-Cut”. He Confesses To A Regional Influence On His Music But Consciously Tempers It. “I Don’t Think My Music Should Have Too Much Localness Because I Want Many People Around The World To Like My Music ” He Says. Hirohito Began Playing Piano At A Young Age. As His Play Matured He “became Conscious Of The Beauty Of Sounds As A Melody.” This Awareness Was Illustrated For Him By M. Ravel’s “Piano Concerto In G” 1929-1931 . “Its Beauty Deeply Impressed Me ” He Comments. Its Interesting To Note That Ravel Is Considered One Of The Great French Musical Impressionists. That Movement Was Noted For It’s Focus On Mood And Atmosphere And Its Use Of Dissonance And The Whole Tone Scale To Create Hazy Dreamy Effects. Odori In Radicalfashion's Twenty-First Century Language Moves As Boldly And Coherently Apart From The Mainstream As Ravel’s “Piano Concerto In G” Did In Its Time. The Richly Textured And Strikingly Original Odori Is A Composite Of Contrasting Elements. In All Senses It Is New Fresh And Distinctive Yet It Sounds Familiar. It’s A Fascinating Sound-World Where Elegant Sophisticated Piano Compositions And Highbrow Experimentalism With Uncommon Scales Collide With Playful Modern Electronics. It’s A Lethargic Sonata Free But Structured Composed But Improvisational.
