柏大輔
Born in Hiroshima, Kashiwa Daisuke started off as the composer and guitarist of postrock band Yodaka in 2001. Being inspired by the band’s psychedelic sound due to a postrock approach, and by Maurizio Bianchi, he started a solo project in 2004.
As a solo artist his idea is to create not only acoustic, but also electronic filmy soundscapes and atmospheres. He is doing that by melting together a variety of classic instruments, spoken word snippets, and crisp beats. With a proper amount of ambient music, all of these form an exquisite sound experience.
One day, while his tracks were selling on several CD-R’s, a honorable moment for him occurred when Ryuichi Sakamoto introduced a demo of his one lyrical opus “April.#02” in his radio show Radio Sakamoto on Tokyo’s J-Wave channel.
In May 2005, his first official track “Travelaroundstars”, covered by the reading voice of Francoise Cactus, the vocalist of Stereo Total, an electropop band from Berlin, was recorded for the soundtrack to the book “Des Ne’vroses Pour La Saint Valentin”. In 2006, his first album called “April.#02” is scheduled for release on onpa.

monoversal Who cares about the correct MP3 tags? Just enjoy the music as it is. I guess it's true that most Last.fm people are all about tags and not music.
