With his project, Koeosaeme, Japanese artist Ryu Yoshizawa draws on the sonics of abstract electronics to create a spellbinding sense of controlled chaos. Here you can listen to the artists and tracks that have influenced him.

I think every musician I've chosen is a really experimental musician. These are all musicians who want to reference that experimentation when composing their tracks. Historically, most of Japan's contemporary music was heavily influenced by Western and traditional Japanese or Asian music, so I needed to dig through that. I didn’t put them into this playlist, but my favorite Japan contemporary composers are Toru Takemitsu and Akira Nishimura.
