Cornelius is the alter ego of the legendary Japanese composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Keigo Oyamada.
Twenty years after releasing their iconic album Fantasma in 1997, and putting an end to an eleven-year-long silence, the Tokyo-based musician and his band are now back with Mellow Waves, out now via Rostrum Records.
Having shifted from the postmodern cut-and-paste of previous efforts to a more organic recording technique, Cornelius’s new sound is that of psychedelic brain waves, twirling around scattered thoughts and filling unnerving silences—Mellow Waves is a trip into the creative mind of a musician known for his outstanding and visionary orchestral talent. Check out three videos off the new album after the break!
